Question

A box with a mass of m = 20.5 kg is at rest. It is then pulled with a force of 65.0 N at an angle of = 28. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the block and the surface are = 0.37 and = 0.17, respectively. a) Does the 65.0 N force cause the box to move? Explain/justify your solution and include a free-body diagram for the box. b) What is the magnitude of the frictional force acting on the box while the 65.0 N force is applied?
