Homework Statement
An ice fishing hut weighing 52 N sits on a dry, frozen lake.
What is the magnitude of the initial horizontal force required to make the ice fishing hut start sliding across the surface of the frozen pond
Homework Equations
μk = Fk/Fn or μs = Fs/Fn
The Attempt at a Solution
Find out Static Friction
Fnetx = FA + FS
Get rid of vectors so it rearranges to...
-FS + FA or FA - FS
See if m*a is equal to the Fnet
ma = -FS + FA
No mass or acceleration is given so I am unaware on how to discover the applied force which in turn would allow me to get the Static friction(max)
