A 70 lb-bag of rice is being pulled by a person by applying a force F at an angle e. The force required to drag the bag is F(e) = (70µ)/(µsine + cose) where u = 0.35 is the coefficient of friction. Determine the maximum F by creating a vector for the angle with elements ranging from 5° to 35° and spacing of 0.01 and use the built-in function max.
