The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is 0.5 .
- Draw and label a diagram to show all the forces acting on the block.
- Calculate the magnitude of the normal reaction force acting on the block.
- Find the maximum possible magnitude of the friction force between the block and the surface.
- Given that \(P = 30\), state the magnitude of the friction force acting on the block.
- Given that \(P = 80\), find the acceleration of the block.
