Asked by Matt
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!

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 :)

So the answer is 29.4?
Our mass is 10.0 kg right?

does the mass always have to be in kilograms? If it is not, do we convert it to kg?
