Question
### Problem Statement: Static Friction and Applied Force

A force is applied to a 24 kg object and presses it against a wall. This force is just great enough to hold the object in place (to prevent it from sliding down the wall). If the coefficient of static friction between the object and the wall is \(\mu_s = 0.27\), then find the applied force.

#### Diagram Description:
The diagram shows a block labeled "M" representing the 24 kg object, pressed against a vertical wall by a force labeled \( F_{\text{applied}} \). The force is acting horizontally towards the wall.

#### Multiple Choice Answers:
12. 
A.  759.7 N  
B. 1537 N  
C. 1272 N  
D. 1608 N  
E.  871.1 N  
F.  651.2 N
