Easy -1.8 This is a straightforward recall question testing F = μR with the crate in limiting equilibrium. It requires only one step: R = F/μ = 600/0.6 = 1000 N. The multiple-choice format and single mark confirm this is a routine mechanics exercise requiring minimal problem-solving.
A wooden crate rests on a rough horizontal surface.
The coefficient of friction between the crate and the surface is 0.6
A forward force acts on the crate, parallel to the surface.
When this force is 600 N, the crate is on the point of moving.
Find the weight of the crate.
Circle your answer.
