Question Number 27128 by NECx last updated on 02/Jan/18
A body resting on a rough horizontal plane require a pull of 18N inclined at 30° to the plane first to move it.It was found that a push of 22N inclined at 30° to the plane just moved the body. Determine the weight and coefficient of friction.

please can you post a diagram for better understanding. This is because I never knew that there was a difference between the reaction of forces when in a push and pull.
