Homework Statement
- An 82 kg couch is being pushed with a force of 56 N at an angle of 40o above horizontal. Friction is to be considered. Draw a free-body diagram representing this scenario.
- If the coefficient of friction between the couch and the floor is 0.051, what is the acceleration of the couch? Be sure to reference the free body diagram in your response.
Mass = 82kg
Fapp= 56N
theta= 40°

The Attempt at a Solution
I wanted some clarification, I'm not sure if my steps were correct, I'm still fuzzy about this concept because I haven't taken physics in a year. I based my solutions off another example.
My solutions are posted in the picture attached.
p.s sorry for they low quality, my camera is pretty bad.
