The truck’s winch exerts a horizontal force on the 200-kg crate in an effort to pull it down the ramp. The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the ramp is μs = 0.6.

(a) If the winch exerts a 200-N horizontal force on the crate, what is the magnitude of the friction force exerted on the crate by the ramp?


(b) What is the magnitude of the horizontal force the winch must exert on the crate to cause it to start moving down the ramp?
