A crate with a mass of 60 kilogram crate is resting on a flat horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the surface is μs = 0.5. There are two forces that are applied to the crate. P1 = 250 lbs and P2 = 125 lbs. Determine and state whether the crate will remain stationary or begin to move.
