A box slides from rest from point A down a plane inclined 30 degrees to the horizontal. After reaching the bottom of the plane, the box moves on the horizontal floor at a distance of 2 m before coming to rest. If the coefficient of friction between the box and plane and between the box and floor is 0.40, what is the distance of point A from the intersection of the plane and the floor?
