A 5.0‑kg block rests on a horizontal rough surface. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are \(\mu_{s}=0.40\) and \(\mu_{k}=0.30\) respectively. A force \(P\) is applied at an angle of \(30^{\circ}\) above the horizontal. Determine (a) the minimum magnitude of \(P\) required to start the block moving, and (b) the acceleration of the block when \(P=60\,\text{N}\). Give your answers in newtons and metres per second squared respectively.

Answer Options

A. P_min = 29.4 N, a = 5.65 m\/s^2
Correct Answer B. P_min = 18.4 N, a = 9.25 m/s^2
C. P_min = 22.6 N, a = 7.45 m\/s^2
D. P_min = 14.5 N, a = 8.87 m\/s^2
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
P_min = 18.4 N, a = 9.25 m/s^2
