Hi am stuck on this question: A table 8ft long and 3ft high weighing 100lb, has its center of gravity 6 in below the center of the table top. The table is pushed at constant speed along a horizontal force applied at one end of the table top. The coefficient of sliding friction is 0.40. Compute the upward force and the friction force at each table leg. i have got the force diagram and taken the moments but my answers are wrong. THE ANSWER: 32.5lb and 13lb on each front leg. 17.5lb and 7lb on each rear leg.
