QUESTION:

Problem 34E

When you push downward on a book at rest on a table, you feel an upward force. Does this force depend on friction? Defend your answer.

ANSWER:

It depends on the angle that you push with. There is no friction involved if you push straight down at a 90 degree angle. Any other angle will involve friction which, if exceeded, will cause the book to move.
