he coefficient of static friction between a 40kg crate and concrete surface is 0.25. Find the magnitude of the minimum force needed to keep the crate stationary on the concrete base inclined at 45o to the horizontal. [G = 10ms-1]

Answer Details

momentum force = R5n$\theta$ - $\mu$Rcos$\theta$

Fm = (40 x 10 x sin 45) - (40 x 10 x 0.25 x cos 45)

= 212N
