A person pulls on a 50 kg desk with a 200N force acting at a 30 degree angle above the horizontal. The desk does not budge.
Draw a force diagram for the desk.
a. Write the equation which describes the forces which act in the x-direction.
b. Write the equation which describes the forces which act in the y-direction.
c. Determine the x and y components of the force of tension.
D. Determine the value of the frictional force. Do the same for the normal force.
