Homework Statement
You try to push a crate of weight M with a force F on a horizontal floor. The coefficient of static friction is μ and you exert the force F under an angle θ below the horizontal.
a) Determine the minimum value of F that will move the crate
b) Assume you have not sufficient strength to move the crate. You now do this exercise in an elevator. Which direction should you the elevator accelerate to have a chance to move the box?
Homework Equations
The maximum possible friction force between two surfaces before sliding begins is the product of the coefficient of static friction and the normal force: (f= μ Fn)
The Attempt at a Solution
I have no idea after that...
