Problem

A light string pulls a block of mass mm lying on a rough horizontal table. The string makes an angle θ\theta above the horizontal. a. (i) Draw a free-body diagram of the block, clearly labeling all the forces acting on it. b. (ii) Derive an expression for the minimum tension TminT_{\text{min}} in terms of mm, gg, μs\mu_s and θ\theta required to just start moving the block.
