5\,\text{kg}

block rests on a horizontal table (

g = 10\,\text{m/s}^2

). It is pulled by a force

F

that makes an angle of

37^{\circ}

above the horizontal. If the coefficient of static friction between block and table is

\mu_s = 0.30

, the least magnitude of

F

needed to just start the motion of the block is closest to (a)

24\,\text{N}

(b)

13\,\text{N}

(c)

15\,\text{N}

(d)

19\,\text{N}
