Question: Determine the smallest horizontal force P needed to cause motion. The dresser has a weight of 5 0 lb and is pushed along the floor

Determine the smallest horizontal force P needed to cause motion.
The dresser has a weight of 50 lb and is pushed along the floor as shown in
(Figure 1). Assume h=3.5ft. The coefficient of static friction at A and B is
s=0.32 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is k=0.2.
Figure
If force P is increased slightly, determine the acceleration of the dresser.
Express your answer in feet per squared second to three significant figures. Assume the positive direction is to the right.
