Using an angle of $~30^{\circ}$ to supply the force required to slide a box along a floor with a coefficient of friction of 0.30,which would require the least force to move it?
A) pull it with a rope
B) push it
C) either push or pull
D) not enough information to solve

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pulling the box at a 30-degree angle reduces the normal force and thus the frictional force, requiring less force to move the box compared to pushing it, which increases the normal force.
