Problem

A horizontal force is applied to a 6 kg6\,\text{kg} block at rest on a table. If the coefficient of static friction between the surfaces is 0.350.35, the minimum magnitude of the force required to start the block moving is closest to (a) 21.6 N21.6\,\text{N} (b) 2.1 N2.1\,\text{N} (c) 20.6 N20.6\,\text{N} (d) 17.2 N17.2\,\text{N}
