A 2.20 kg block is initially at rest on a horizontal surface. A horizontal force of magnitude 4.22 N and a vertical force ℗ are then applied to the block (see the figure). The coefficients of friction for the block and surface are μ = 0.4 and µ = 0.25. Determine the magnitude of the frictional force acting on the block if the magnitude of P is (a)10.0 N and (b)12.0 N. (The upward pull is insufficient to move the block vertically.)

A 2.20 kg block is initially at rest on a horizontal surface. A horizontal force \( \overrightarrow{F} \) of magnitude 4.22 N and a vertical force \( \overrightarrow{P} \) are then applied to the block (see the figure). The coefficients of friction for the block and surface are \( \mu_s = 0.4 \) and \( \mu_k = 0.25 \). Determine the magnitude of the frictional force acting on the block if the magnitude of \( \overrightarrow{P} \) is (a) 10.0 N and (b) 12.0 N. (The upward pull is insufficient to move the block vertically.)

[Diagram description: The diagram shows a block on a horizontal surface. There are two forces applied to the block: a horizontal force \( \overrightarrow{F} \) pointing to the right and a vertical force \( \overrightarrow{P} \) pointing upward.]
