Problem

A 10 kg10\,\text{kg} crate is to be set in motion on a rough horizontal floor where the coefficient of static friction is μs=0.40\mu_s = 0.40. It is pulled by a rope making an angle of 30∘30^{\circ} above the horizontal. Calculate the least magnitude of the pulling force that will just start the motion.
