Answer:
F = 207.48 N
Explanation:
given,
mass of crate = 21 kg
μs = 0.70
μk = 0.60
a = 4 m/s²
normal reaction force
N = m g
[tex]F_{net}=F-f_k[/tex]
[tex]F_{net}=F-\mu_k N[/tex]
[tex]F_{net}=F-\mu_k mg[/tex]
[tex]ma=F-\mu_k mg[/tex]
[tex]F =m(a + \mu_k g)[/tex]
[tex]F =21 (4 + 0.6 \times 9.8)[/tex]
F = 207.48 N
