### Problem Statement: Static Friction and Applied ForceA 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

A rectangular block has a length that is five times its width and a height that is three times its width. The blocks surfaces are all identical except for size. When the block is placed on a horizontal tabletop so that the area in contact with the table is length width, it is found that a horizontal force of 10.0 N applied to the block is just sufficient to overcome the static friction force and cause the block to move. The block is then knocked over so that the area in contact with the table is length height. Now, what minimum horizontal force will cause the block to move? Explain.
A block lies motionless on a horizontal tabletop. You apply a force Fapp horizontally to the block, but it does not move.

You have been hired as an expert witness in the case of a factory owner suing a demolition company. The particular case involves a smokestack at a factory being demolished. In order to save money, the factory owner wanted to move the smokestack to a nearby factory that was being built. The demolition company guaranteed to deliver the undamaged smokestack to the new factory by toppling the smokestack freely onto a huge cushioned platform lying on the ground. The then-horizontal smokestack would have been loaded onto a long truck rig for transport to the new factory. However, as the smokestack toppled, it broke apart at a point along its length. The factory owner is blaming the demolition company for the destruction of his smokestack. The demolition company is claiming that there was a defect in the smokestack and that is the reason for its destruction. What advice do you give the attorney who is handling the case on the side of the factory owner?
