A box of mass m = 18.2 kg on a flat surface is being pulled by a rope with the rope angled at 30.4° above the horizontal. the coefficient of static friction between the box and the flat surface is μs=0.554 while the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk=0.234.
a) calculate the magnitude of the maximum tension in the rope so that the box remains motionless due to the friction between it and the flat surface (in n).
a)232.4 N
b)124.8 N
c)190.6 N
d)286.9 N
