A person pushes on a 61 kg refrigerator by a horizontal force of 257 N. (Assume the push is in the +x-direction.)
(a) If the coefficient of static friction is 0.60, what are the magnitude (in N) and the direction (in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis) of the force of the static friction?
magnitude:____ N
direction:_______° counterclockwise from the +x-axis
Does the person move the refrigerator?
1. Yes
2. No
(b) What is the magnitude (in N) of the largest push that the person can apply to the refrigerator just before it begins to move?
________ N
A. Applied force= 257 N
Maximum force required to move the block= umg= 0.6*61*9.8
Fmax= 358.68 N
So block doesn't move when we applied 257 N force.
Static friction= 257 N
Direction= 180 degree from +ve x axis
B. Largest push= 358.68 N (fmax as calculated in first part)

A large refrigerator (mass 95kg) sits at rest inside a house. The homeowner wants to move the refrigerator across the room, so she begins to push it. The coefficient of static friction between the refrigerator and the floor is 0.6, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.5. The homeowner applies a horizontal force of 400N on the refrigerator. What is the magnitude of the force of friction acting on the refrigerator as she applies that force?
