NOTE: Since no motion occurs in the y direction, direct application of
the equilibrium equation EF, = 0 gives the same result for Ne. Try to
solve the problem by first applying EF,=ma,, then v v+at.

In the figure a fastidious worker pushes directly along the handle of a mop with a force F. The handle is at an angle 0-42° with the
vertical, and u, -0.68 and p₁,-0.49 are the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the head of the mop and the floor. Ignore
the mass of the handle and assume that all the mop's mass m-0.73 kg is in its head. (a) If the mop head moves along the floor with a
constant velocity, then what is F? (b) If @ is less than a certain value 00. then F (still directed along the handle) is unable to move the
mop head. Find 0.
