Two coplanar forces F1 and F2 are acting on an object. F1 has a magnitude of 10N directed at an angle 45 degrees to the positive x axis. F2 has a magnitude of 15 N directed at an angle 120 degrees to the positive x axis. What is the magnitude and direction of the resultant force ?
A crate is sitting on a horizontal surface where the coefficient of static friction is 0.60. A worker pushes horizontally on the crate, which has a mass of 45 kg. The crate does not move, and there are no other forces acting on it. Which of the following statements is true?
(a) The force of friction on the crate is mgμs.
(b) The force of friction on the crate is mgμk.
(c) The force of friction on the crate is greater than the force that the worker exerts on the crate.
(d) The force exerted on the worker by the crate is equal in magnitude to the force of friction exerted by the surface on the crate.
