Answer :
The maximum static friction that could be exerted on the crate is 58.8.
Static friction is a force that keeps an object at rest. Friction is experienced when individuals try to move a stationary object on a surface, without actually triggering any relative motion between the body and the surface on which it is on.
Formula for static friction:
Static friction(max) = Normal force × Static friction
= mg × μ
m = mass = 10kg
g = gravity on the body = 9.8 m/s²
μ = static friction = 0.60
Now putting these values in the equation, we get:
Static friction = 10 × 9.8 × 0.60
= 58.8
Therefore the static friction is 58.8.
