A 40−kg vase has a 200−mm-diameter base and is being moved using a 100−kg utility cart as shown. The cart moves on the ground with μk = 0.10. Knowing the coefficient of static friction between the vase and the cart is μs = 0.4, determine the maximum force F that can be applied if the vase is not to slide or tip.

  1. A 40 k g vase has a 200 m m -diameter base and is being moved using a 100 k g utility cart as shown. The cart moves on the ground with μ k = 0.10 . Knowing the coefficient of static friction between the vase and the cart is μ s = 0.4 , determine the maximum force F that can be applied if the vase is not to slide or tip.
