A contestant in a winter games event pushes 48.0 kg block of ice across a frozen lake with a rope over his shoulder as shown in the figure.

The coefficient of static friction is 0.1 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.03.

Calculate the minimum force F (in N) he must exert to get the block moving.
