10\,\text{kg}

crate is on a horizontal floor. The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is

0.3

. Take

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

. (a) Find the range of horizontal pulling force

F

for which the crate will remain at rest. (b) What is the minimum magnitude of

F

that will set the crate in motion?
