Question: A 1 8 0 kN horizontal force P is applied to a 1 4 0 kN box resting on an 2 3 incline. The line

A 180 kN horizontal force P is applied to a 140
kN box resting on an 23 incline. The line of
action of P passes through the center of gravity
of the box. The box is 4m wide 2.5m tall, and
the coefficients of friction between the box and
the surface are s=0.3 and k=0.27.
1) Determine the magnitude of the friction force acting on the box.
2) The box is:
a. In static equilibrium b. sliding up c. sliding down d. Tipping
