Step 1
We know that the force required to raise m is 4.51 kN. This force can be calculated using the equation: Force = mass * acceleration Since the mass is m and the acceleration is due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2), we can write: 4.51 kN = m * 9.8 m/s^2 Show more…

A block of mass 55.1 kg rests on a slope having an angle of elevation of 20.3°. If pushing downhill on the block with a force just exceeding 162 N and parallel to the slope is sufficient to cause the block to start moving, find the coefficient of static friction.
