Question

The maximum amount of statie friction between this chair

and the floor is 175 N.
Which action would cause the chair to move to the left?
A. Applying 100 N of force to the chair from the left
B. Applying 200 N of force to the chair from the left
O c. Applying 200 N of force to the chair from the right
O D. Applying 100 N of force to the chair from the right

Answer 1

In order to overcome static friction, a force greater than 175 N would need to be applied to the chair, so we can eliminate A and D. Since you want to move the chair to the left, you’d have to push from the right, so the correct answer is
C) applying 200 N of force to the chair from the right
