1. At Station square, a statue initially at rest in front of a burger shop is pushed away by a scientist across a rough surface. Suppose the mass of the statue is 70 kg and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the statue and floor is .28. If the scientist pushes on the statue with a horizontal force of 115 N, what is the acceleration the statue feels in being pushed?
