Solve for the force of friction acting on a 50-kg carton sliding at 4 ms if ti stops in 3 s?

F = ma; where m = 50 kg and acceleration a = v/t; where v = 4 mps and t = 3 sec.
Therefore F = ma = mv/t = 50*4/3 = 200/3 = 66.7 kg-m/sec^2 (aka Newtons).
The physics is this. Friction is the only force acting to slow the carton down from 4 mps velocity. So the F in F = ma is the friction force.

How do you find the minimum coefficient of static friction for a mass on an incline of 32 degrees?
The equation for friction is F=uN. F (friction), u (coefficient of friction), and N (normal). So you first need to solve for the normal by using Newton's second law. Also solve for the x component of the gravity force. Since it is static friction, you know it should be at rest, so that x component force should be the same as the force of friction. Knowing that and the normal, plug it into the equation and solve for u.

A 40kg crate is at rest on a level surface if the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the surface is 0.69 what horizontal force is required to get the crate moving?
The force of static friction acts to prevent the crate from moving when at rest. To overcome this force and start the crate moving, a force larger than the force of static friction must be applied. The force required to get the crate moving can be calculated as the product of the coefficient of static friction and the weight of the crate, which is 40 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 392 N. So, the horizontal force required would be 0.69 * 392 N = 270.48 N.

Why is Sidney Carton acting the way he is acting and why in the tale of two cities?
Sidney Carton sacrifices himself for Charles Darnay in "A Tale of Two Cities" because he sees his life as worthless and wants to redeem himself by performing a selfless act. By switching places with Darnay, he finds purpose and meaning in his life by making the ultimate sacrifice for someone he cares about. His actions symbolize both personal redemption and the broader theme of resurrection in the novel.
