D. 51 N. The minimum applied force that will cause the television slide is 51 N.
In order to solve this problem we have to use the force of static friction equation Fs = μs*n, where μs is the coefficient of static friction, and n is the normal force m*g.
With μs = 0.35, and n = 15kg*9.8m/s² = 147 N
Fs = (0.35)(147 N)
Fs = 51.45 N
Fs ≅ 51 N
