A robot pushes a 20-kg box on the horizontal surface as part of the moving job. The force is 35 N to the left shown, and the box does not move. The coefficients of friction
between the floor and box are us = 0.75 and uk = 0.40. What is the minimum pushing force (magnitude only) needed to move the box, in Newtons? Use g = 10 m/s2.
Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in

- How do you find the normal force between a table with a mass of 35 kg and the floor? (Assume that normal force and gravity are the only two vertical forces.) Your answer: The normal force is the same number - 35 kg. Multiply the mass by the coefficient of friction. Multiple the mass by gravitational acceleration (g = 9.8 m/s²) The normal force is zero because the table isn't moving vertically. The normal force is 9.8 N because it is on Earth.
