The uniform crate has a mass of 150 kg. If the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is μs = 0.2, determine the smallest mass of the man so he can move the crate. The coefficient of static friction between his shoes and the floor is μ's = 0.45. Assume the man exerts only ahorizontal force on the crate.
If the center of gravity of the stacked tables is at G, and the stack weighs 100 lb, determine the smallest force P the boy must push on the stack in order to cause movement. The coefficient of static friction at A and B is s = 0.3. The tables are locked together.
