Question: A stubborn 110 kg pig sits down and refuses to move. To drag the pig to the barn, the exasperated farmer ties a rope around the pig and pulls with his maximum force of 800 N. The coefficients of friction between the pig and the ground are µs=0.80 and µk=0.50.

Part A: Calculate the force which farmer needs to apply to budge the pig.

I need tutor help to solve the above question and express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
