A post weighing 314. [N] and with height h has its lower end resting on a rough horizontal surface with μ = 0.214. The upper end is held by a rope fastened to the surface and making an angle of 0 = 25.0° with the post. A horizontal force F is applied at the midpoint of the post. What is the largest value F can have without causing the post to move?
