Question 2

A block of mass k k\,k kg, is at rest on a rough horizontal floor. The coefficient of friction between the block and the floor is 0.4. A force of F F\,F N is pulling the block at an angle of 20∘ 20^\circ\,20∘ to the horizontal. The block is on the point of sliding.

Diagram of a block of mass k kg on a rough horizontal floor with a force F applied at 20 degrees to the horizontal.

Find the value of F F\,F in terms of kkk.
