For the wood crate to move, the force applied (minimum horizontal force) must be greater than the static friction between the wood crate and the wood floor

Given that Jim wishes to push a 100. N wood crate across a wood floor.

The weight of the wood = 100N

The weight will produce a normal reaction N which is equal in magnitude to the magnitude of the weight. That is,

N = mg = 100N

For the wood crate to move, the force applied must be greater than the static friction between the wood crate and the wood floor.

Static friction = μN

Where μ = static friction.

Therefore, the minimum horizontal force that would be required to start the crate moving depend on the nature of the surface of the wood floor.
