Suppose you have a 136-kg wooden crate resting on a wood floor. the coefficient of static friction is 0.4 and coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.2 what maximum force (in n) can you exert horizontally on the crate without moving it? (hint: static friction)

The the maximum force acting on the crate is 533.12 newtons.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the wooden crate, m = 136 kg

The coefficient of static friction,

The coefficient of kinetic friction,

We need to find the maximum force exerted horizontally on the crate without moving it. As the crate is not moving than the coefficient of static friction will act and the force is given by :

F = 533.12 N

So, the maximum force acting on the crate is 533.12 newtons. Hence, this is the required solution.

A. Input force.

Hope this helps & good luck!
