13 In this question use \(g = 9.8 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 2 }\) A boy attempts to move a wooden crate of mass 20 kg along horizontal ground. The coefficient of friction between the crate and the ground is 0.85 13
  1. The boy applies a horizontal force of 150 N . Show that the crate remains stationary.
    13
  2. Instead, the boy uses a handle to pull the crate forward. He exerts a force of 150 N , at an angle of \(15 ^ { \circ }\) above the horizontal, as shown in the diagram.
