The base of a winch is bolted to a mounting plate with four bolts. The base and the mounting plate are flat surfaces made of steel; the friction coefficient of these surfaces in contact is μs =0.40. The bolts provide a normal force of 2700 N each. What maximum static friction force will act between the steel surfaces and help oppose lateral slippage of the winch on its base?
