A nurse pushes a cart by exerting a force on the handle at a downward angle 35 degrees below the horizontal. The loaded cart has a mass of 28.0 kg, and the force of friction is 60.0N. What force must the nurse exert to move at a constant velocity?

4 answers

in the horizontal:

force-forcefriction=0
Force*cos35=60
solve for force.
73.2N
52.58
