Draw the free body diagram of the wooden block if the


A person is trying to move a block of wood by pulling on it with a rope. The rope makes an angle of 15° with the ground. The mass of the wooden block is 100 kg, and the coefficient of static friction between the block and the ground is 0.1

  1. Draw the free body diagram of the wooden block
  2. If the wooden block is not moving yet, write the equation describing how the forces are related in the horizontal dimension.
  3. Write down the equation describing how the forces are related in the vertical dimension.
  4. What is the normal reaction force R exerted by the ground on the block?
  5. How much force does the person has to pull with to get the block moving?
