**Problem Description:**A uniform beam of mass 0.250 kg and length 3.00 m rests on a smooth floor and leans against a rough vertical wall as shown in the figure below. A force \(\vec{F}\) of magnitude 1.00 N is applied perpendicular to the beam three-fourths of the way up the beam. Determine the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the beam and the wall for the beam to remain in equilibrium.**Diagram Explanation:**- The diagram illustrates a beam leaning against a vertical wall, with its lower end resting on a horizontal surface. - The beam forms an angle of 75.0° with the floor.- A force \(\vec{F}\) is applied perpendicular to the beam at a point three-fourths of the way up its length, directed towards the wall.- The wall is rough, implying a force of friction is at play.- The objective is to find the minimum coefficient of static friction necessary to prevent the beam from sliding down.
