(a) The minimum force F he must exert to get the block moving is 38.9 N.
(b) The acceleration of the block is 0.79 m/s².
Minimum force to be applied
The minimum force F he must exert to get the block moving is calculated as follows;
Fcosθ = μ(s)Fₙ
Fcosθ = μ(s)mg
where;
- μ(s) is coefficient of static friction
- m is mass of the block
- g is acceleration due to gravity
F = [0.1(36)(9.8)] / [(cos(25)]
F = 38.9 N
Acceleration of the block
F(net) = 38.9 - (0.03 x 36 x 9.8) = 28.32
a = F(net)/m
a = 28.32/36
a = 0.79 m/s²
Thus, the minimum force F he must exert to get the block moving is 38.9 N.
The acceleration of the block is 0.79 m/s².
