So I've been stuck on this type of question, please help!
You are pushing horizontally on a 3.0 kg box of wood, pressing against a wall. If the coefficient of static friction is 0.60, how much force must you exert on the block to prevent it from sliding down?
What is the force applied to keep the box from sliding down?
m= 3.0kg
u= o.60
g=9.81
FF=uFn
Fnet = ma
I tried to use the equation FF=uFn:
FF = .6(3)(9.81)
FF=17.658 N
Am I doing this correct?
