Question:

A janitor is pushing an \(11-\mathrm{kg}\) trashcan across a level floor at constant speed. The coefficient of friction between can and floor is 0. 10 .

(a) If the janitor is pushing horizontally, what is the magnitude of the force he exerts on the can?

(b) If he pushes at an angle of \(30^{\circ}\) down from the horizontal, what must the magnitude of his pushing force be to keep the can moving at constant speed?
