    Ff = 19.6 N

    Explanation:

    So since its saying whats the minimum F to move the block, we will use static friction (0.5).

    We will use the equation for force of friction, which is Ff = uFn

    Ff = (0.5) (4) (9.8)

    Ff = 19.6 N

    this is the minumum force needed to move the block, as that is the frictional force. You would need to apply a minimum force of 19.6 N to move the block
