Physics

A symmetrical table of height 0.750 m, length 1.55 m, and weight462 N is dragged across the floor by a force applied to its frontedge. The force is directed to the right and upward and makes anangle of 30.0° with the horizontal.

(a) Find the minimum force necessary to drag the table acrossthe floor. The coefficient of sliding friction between table andfloor is 0.375. 164.45 N
  

(b) Calculate the normal force and the frictional force on eachleg.

front legs:  normal force
frictional force
back legs:normal force
frictional force
