![**VP4.** A crate of weight \( F_g \) is pushed by a force \( \vec{P} \) on a horizontal floor as shown in the figure below. The coefficient of static friction is \( \mu_s \), and \( \vec{P} \) is directed at angle \( \theta \) below the horizontal.
(a) Show that the minimum value of \( P \) that will move the crate is given by
\[ P = \frac{\mu_s F_g \sec \theta}{1 - \mu_s \tan \theta}. \]
(b) Find the condition on \( \theta \) in terms of \( \mu_s \) for which motion of the crate is impossible for any value of \( P \).
**Diagram Description:**
The image shows a rectangle representing the crate on a flat horizontal surface. An arrow labeled \( \vec{P} \) is drawn at an angle \( \theta \) downward from the horizontal direction, indicating the direction of the applied force.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F9682b814-e7b6-40bb-8ab1-65efb8b73f6f%2Fed058c3e-47db-4024-95be-92fae8ea3a4f%2Fw145kka_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
