joannablackwelder · Answer

Max force of static friction = coefficient of static friction * normal force

joannablackwelder · Answer

Normal force = mg

joannablackwelder · Answer

So, max force of static friction = coefficient of static friction * m*g

I got 2.9 (A) 
is that correct? @joannablackwelder

joannablackwelder · Answer

I get .6*.3*9.8=1.8N
