Question
A block whose weight is 45.8 N rests on a horizontal table. A horizontal force of 36.6 N is applied to the block. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are 0.697 and 0.371, respectively. Will the block move under the influence of the force, and, if so, what will be the block’s acceleration? If the block does not move, give 0 m/s2 as the acceleration?

Answer:
Yes it will move and a= 4.19m/s^2
Explanation:
In order for the box to move it needs to overcome the maximum static friction force
Max Static Friction = μFn(normal force)
plug in givens
Max Static friction = 31.9226
Since 36.6>31.9226, the box will move
Mass= Wieght/g which is 45.8/9.8= 4.67kg
Fnet = Fapp-Fk
= 36.6-16.9918
=19.6082
=ma
Solve for a=4.19m/s^2
