please solve and answer the question correctly. Thank you!! ( Hint attached in second photo)
A) If the lightsaber has a mass of 2.14 kg, what minimum force would be required to pull the lightsaber to her, assuming it does not leave the table’s surface and the force is completely horizontal? The coefficient of static friction is 0.300 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.173.  B) What acceleration does the lightsaber have when it starts moving?  Assume Rey is pulling with the same force you found in A
Question is below, thank you.
