The possible magnitude for the force of static friction on the stationary cart is 72.1 N.

The given parameters:

  • Applied force on the cart, F = 72.1 N

Based on Newton's second law of motion, the force applied to object is directly proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of the object.

F = ma

Static frictional force is the force resisting the motion of an object at rest.

[tex]\Sigma F = 0\\\\F -F_f = 0[/tex]

where;

[tex]F_f[/tex] is the frictional force

[tex]F= F_f \\\\72.1 = F_f\\\\F_f = 72.1\ N[/tex]

Thus, the possible magnitude for the force of static friction on the stationary cart is 72.1 N.
