An object of mass 1.5 kg is placed on a rough horizontal surface, as shown in Figure 1. Force F acts on the object. When the magnitude of F is 10 N, the object just begins to slide. Determine the coefficient of static friction between the object and the surface.

i do not know how to find acceleration.

assuming the force is parallel to the surface.

10N=mu*weight

solve for mu.
