Problem

A 10 kg10\,\text{kg} box rests on a rough 15∘15^{\circ} incline. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the incline is μs=0.50\mu_s = 0.50. What is the smallest force directed parallel to the incline and up the slope that will make the box just begin to move up the incline? (Use g=9.8 m ⁣/ ⁣s2g = 9.8\,\text{m}\!/\!\text{s}^2.) a) 47.3 N47.3\,\text{N} b) 25.4 N25.4\,\text{N} c) 72.8 N72.8\,\text{N} d) 98 N98\,\text{N}
