The formula to calculate the Minimum Force Required to Slide a Body on a Rough Horizontal Plane is:
\[ P_{\text{min}} = W \cdot \sin(\theta_e) \]
The Minimum Effort is the minimum force required to slide a body on a rough horizontal plane. The weight of the body is the force acting on the object due to gravity. The angle of effort is the angle which the line of action of effort makes with the weight of the body.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ P_{\text{min}} = 120 \cdot \sin(1.4835298641949) \approx 119.543363771007 \, \text{Newtons} \]
The Minimum Effort is approximately 119.543363771007 Newtons.
