A blocky of mass m rests on a horizotal floor with which it has a coefficient of static friction `mu.` It is desired to make the body move by applying the minimum possible force F. Find the magnitude of F and the direction in which it has be applies.

Explanation

To solve the problem of finding the minimum force \( F \) required to move a block of mass \( m \) resting on a horizontal floor with a coefficient of static friction \( \mu \), we can follow these steps:

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify Forces Acting on the Block**:
- The weight of the block \( W = mg \) acts downward.
- The normal force \( N \) acts upward.
- The static friction force \( f_s \) acts opposite to the direction of applied force \( F \).
