Coefficient of static friction between the bureau and floor

Reference no: EM13649024

A bedroom bureau with a mass of 57 kg,including drawers and clothing, rests on the floor.

a) If the coefficient of static friction between the bureau and the floor is 0.45, what is the minimumhorizontal force a person must apply to start the bureaumoving?

b) If the drawers and clothing, with 20kg mass, are removed before the bureau is pushed, what is the new minimum magnitude?
