Suppose a 76.0-kg safe is sitting on a wood floor. A robber, whose arm muscles are too puny to lift the safe, attempts to push it across the floor. If he pushes with a horizontal force of 300.N, will he succeed in moving the crate? The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.300, and the coefficient of static friction is 0.500. Show mathematically, and explain in words, how you reach your answer.
