A cup of coffee of mass 0.25 kg sits on the edge of a table. A person walks by and accidentally hits the cup with a force of 2 N. If the coefficient of static friction between the cup and the table is 0.7, what is the maximum static friction of the cup? Based upon the maximum static friction value, does the cup fall off the table? Why or why not?

fmax= 1.75 N

Yes, the cup of coffee falls off the table since the applied force is greater than the maximum static friction.
