I am not understanding how to solve this. I think I need to use Newtons second law but I just dont know. Can someone please show me how to do this?
A 100 N force, directed at an angle u above a horizontal floor, is applied to a 25.0 kg chair sitting on the floor. If u =0, what are (a) the horizontal component Fh of the applied force and (b) the magnitude FN of the normal force of the floor on the chair? If u =30.0, what are (c) Fh and (d) FN? If u =60.0, what are (e) Fh and (f) FN? Now assume that the coefficient of static friction between chair and floor is 0.420. Does the chair slide or remain at rest if u is (g) 0, (h) 30.0, and (i) 60.0?
