Respuesta :

The net force on the crate will be 99 N.Option B is correct.

What is the friction force?

It is a type of opposition force acting on the surface of the body that tries to oppose the motion of the body. its unit is Newton (N). it is defined as the product of the coefficient of friction and normal reaction.

On resolving the given force and acceleration.Mathematically in the different components and balancing the equation gets.Components in the x-direction.

When all the forces get resolved the y-direction of forces are;

300 sin 10° +N = 445

N = 445-295.4

N = 392.9 N

The normal force is 392.9 N.

The net force on the crate is found by resolving the force in the x-direction;

F = 300 cos 10° - μN

F= 295.44-196.45

F= 98.99

F=99

Hence, the net force on the crate will be 99 N.Option B is correct.
