Answer:
Frictional force will be equal to 257 N
Explanation:
We have given mass m = 142 kg
Static frictional coefficient [tex]\mu _s=0.6[/tex] and kinetic coefficient friction [tex]\mu _k=0.4[/tex]
Force applied F = 357 N
Static friction force is given by
[tex]f=\mu _smg=0.6\times 142\times 9.8=834.96N[/tex]
As static friction is greater than the force applied
So body will not move
And friction force will be equal to 257 N
