You are pressing a box against a sloped ceiling, perpendicular to the ceiling itself, as shown in the figure. The mass of the box is m=3.3 kg, the angle of the ceiling is 0=37°, and the coefficients of friction are μs-0.31 and μk=0.2.
(a) What is the minimum force needed from you to keep the box at rest?
N
(b) Choosing up the sloping ceiling to be the positive direction, suppose you push with a force 4 N smaller than your answer to the previous part. What will be the acceleration of the box?

A block of mass m =1 kg, slides
down a rough incline with constant
velocity. The coefficient of kinetic
friction between the block and the
incline is µr, and the incline makes
an angle 0 = 30°
horizontal. Take g = 10 m/s2. The
coefficient of kinetic friction µ is
then equal to:
