A steel ramp is used by a worker in a factory to move a cardboard box. The box weighs 40 lb with a center of gravity at point G, the force applied by the worker is parallel to the ramp and the coefficient of friction between the box and ramp is μs = μk = 0.3. Determine the force the worker must apply to slide the box down the ramp. Determine the friction force F acting between the ramp and the box if the worker slid the box up the ramp
