Answer:
25 N
Explanation:
Given that
Weight ,mg = 50 N
m=Mass of the box
g=acceleration due to gravity
Horizontal force F= 10 N
Coefficient of friction ,μ = 0.4
Lets take vertical force = R N
In vertical direction
R + N = mg
N= mg - R
The friction force Fr
Fr= μ N
Fr= μ ( mg - R)
To start the motion
F > Fr
10 > 0.4 ( 50 - R )
25 > 50 - R
R > 50 - 25
R > 25 N
Therefore minimum force R= 25 N
