Answer:
The resulting static friction force acting on the crate is 10 N.
Explanation:
Given that,
Coefficient of static friction = 0.50
Normal force = 20 N
We need to calculate the resulting static friction force acting on the crate
Using formula of static friction force
[tex]f_{s}=\mu_{s}N[/tex]
Where, N = normal force
[tex]\mu_{s}[/tex] = Coefficient of static friction
Put the value into the formula
[tex]f_{s}=0.50\times20[/tex]
[tex]f_{s}=10\ N[/tex]
Hence, The resulting static friction force acting on the crate is 10 N.
