Question 2 [20 marks] A simple problem of practical importance that illustrates the nature of friction is the study of the initiation of motion of an object on a rough surface. For the purpose of this example, let's look at what happens when a person pushes a crate of mass m on a rough floor as shown in Figure 2. Letting us and pk, with uk <us, be the static and kinetic friction coefficients between the crate and the ground, respectively, consider a case in which the force P(t) = Pot. For this case, determine the time at which the motion begins and the friction force as a function of time. = از , پر 14 - Figure 2: A person pushing a crate of mass m over a rough surface with a time-dependent force P(t)
