A 5.0 kg block rests on a rough horizontal surface. Three forces act on it as shown in the diagram: a horizontal push of 20 N to the left, a tension \(T\) in a rope pulling at \(30^{\circ}\) above the horizontal to the right, and the weight \(mg\) downwards. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is \(\mu = 0.40\). Determine the minimum tension \(T\) (in newtons) required to start moving the block to the right.
