Friction

A crate of mass m sitting on a horizontal floor is attached to a rope that pulls at an angle θ above the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between the crate and floor is µs. (a) Construct a force diagram for the crate when being pulled by the rope but not sliding. (b) Determine an expression for the smallest force that the rope needs to exert on the crate that will cause the crate to start sliding.
