Fg= 1.

59N down
Fn=1.59N up
Fa=7.0N to the right
Ff= less than 7.0N to the left

After using the felt and polish, these were the forces:
Fg= 1.59N down
Fn= 1.59N up
Fa= 4.1 N to the right
Ff= less than 4.1N to the left

The Fnet total for up and down is 0N.

However, the Fnet for side to side is not 0N, so therefore it
The Fnet total for up and down is 0N. However, the Fnet
is not balanced. The brick was accelerating.
for side to side is not 0N so it is not balanced. This means
that the brick is accelerating when it is overcoming this
static friction.

Fg= 1.59 N down

Fn= 1.59N up
Fa= 4.9N to the right
Ff= 4.9 N to the left

Fg=1.59N down
Fn= 1.59N up
Fa= 2.3 N to the right
Ff= 2.3 N to the left

The Fnet up and down is 0N, and the Fnet side to side or
left to right is also 0N.

The Fnet up and down is 0N, and the Fnet side to side is
also 0N.

The forces acting on the brick in this diagram are balanced

The forces acting on the brick in this scenario are
because the brick is moving at a constant speed. It has a
balanced. The brick is moving at a constant speed, so it is
Net Force of 0N, and the brick is not accelerating because

the forces are balanced.
