A carton of mass 10 kg is at rest on a rough plane inclined at an angle of 25° to the horizontal. Calculate the magnitude of the friction force, in newtons, to two significant figures. (Take the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, g, to be 9.8 ms 2.) The magnitude of the friction force is N (to 2.s.f.).
