A 12.0-1bcabinet is mounted on casters which can be locked to
prevent their rotation. The coefficient of static friction behveen the floor and
each caster is 0.30. If h = 32 in., determine the magnitude of the force P
required to move the cabinet to the right (a) if all castersare locked, (b) if the
casters at B are locked and the castersat A are free to rotate, (c) if the casters
at A are lacked and the casters at B are free to rotate.
