Homework Statement
A woman pulls on her suitcase with a force of 105N at an angle of 38 degrees above the horizontal. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between and suitcase and the floor are 0.273 and 0.117. The mass of the suitcase is 36 kg. what is the magnitude of the normal force acting on the suitcase due to the floor?
Homework Equations
normal force - weight + vertical component =0
The Attempt at a Solution
N - mg +105 sin 38=0
N=36kg*9.8m/s/s - 105 sin 38 = 288N
So I have figured out the magnitude of the normal force, but I don't know if the suitcase will slide. How do I figure that out?
