(a) A person is pulling on a 10.0-kg box with a force of 40.0 N directed at horizontally. Will the person be successful in pulling the box if the coefficient of static friction is 0.500? (b) The person is now pulling with a force of 40.0 N directed at 30.0° with respect to the horizontal. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.250, what is the acceleration of the box? (c) What happens if the person is pulling with the force of 200. N directed at 30.0° with respect to the horizontal? Draw an FBD to justify your answer.
