The coefficient of static friction between a book and a desk surface is 0.6. The book weighs 20 N. If a horizontal force of 10 N is applied to the book, would the book move? And if not, what is the magnitude of the friction force? What should be the magnitude of the horizontal force to set the book in motion?
