### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Setup**: - In Case 1, we have an empty chair placed on the ground. When we drag it across the floor, we are applying a force to overcome the friction between the chair and the floor. - In Case 2, a friend sits on the chair, increasing its total mass. When we try to drag the chair again, we are applying force to overcome the increased friction. 2. **Analyzing the Forces**: - In Case 1, the frictional force is determined by the weight of the empty chair. Let's denote the mass of the empty chair as \( M_1 \). ...
