Consider a lawnmower of weight which can slide across a horizontal surface with a coefficient of friction . In this problem the lawnmower is pushed using a massless handle, which makes an angle with the horizontal. Assume that , the force exerted by the handle, is parallel to the handle.Take the positive x direction to be to the right and the postive y direction to be upward.Find the magnitude, , of the force required to slide the lawnmower over the ground at constant speed by pushing the handle.
