Answer:
If the force applied is larger than 185.2 N, yes.
Explanation:
In order to move the table, the pushing force must be larger than the frictional force. The frictional force is given by:
[tex]F_f = \mu mg[/tex]
where
[tex]\mu=0.42[/tex] is the coefficient of static friction
[tex]m=45 kg[/tex] is the mass of the table
[tex]g=9.8 m/s^2[/tex] is the gravitational acceleration
Substituting,
[tex]F_f=(0.42)(45 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=185.2 N[/tex]
So, we are able to move the table if we push with a force larger than 185.2 N.
