(8.) A 6.0 kg box is sitting at rest on the floor as shown. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the floor is μs = 0.25. What is the minimum horizontal pushing force, P→, needed to get the box to start moving? (a) Any amount of pushing force will make the box move. (b) P = 14.7 N (c) P = 58.8 N (d) P = 73.5 N (e) P = 235.2 N
