weight = 10 * 9.81 = 98.1 Newtons
= normal force
max friction force = .3 * 98.1 Newtons
Of course we are not allowed to push down on it :)
If a block of mass 10.0 kg rests on a horizontal surface, and the coefficient of static friction is 0.300, what is the maximum static friction that can act on the block?
If you could walk me step by step on completing this problem, I would be extremely grateful and it would be helpful! Thank you!

So the answer is 29.4?
Our mass is 10.0 kg right?
Our mass is 10.0 kg right?
that is what you said. A mass of 10 kg is a weight of 98.1 Newtons
does the mass always have to be in kilograms? If it is not, do we convert it to kg?
