Problem

A student pushes a 10 kg10\,\text{kg} crate toward the right with a horizontal force of 30 N30\,\text{N}. The crate does not move. Which statement correctly identifies the frictional force exerted by the floor on the crate? a) A 30 N30\,\text{N} kinetic frictional force directed toward the left. b) A frictional force of magnitude μsFn\mu_s F_n directed toward the left. c) No frictional force acts because the crate never moves. d) A 30 N30\,\text{N} static frictional force directed toward the left.
