The box is on the slope as in the picture. The angle of the slope is \(\alpha \). The forces acting on the box are the force of gravity \(\vec{F_{G}}\) and the friction \(\vec{F_{t}}\). The force of gravity can be replaced by two components \(\vec{F_{1}}\) and \(\vec{F_{n}}\). (The force \(\vec{F_{1}}\) is parallel to the slope and \(\vec{F_{n}}\) is perpendicular to the slope.) The friction \(F_{t}\) is given by the formula \(F_{t} = fF_{n}\). The coefficient of the friction is \(f = 0.47\). Consider the standard acceleration of gravity \(g = 10\, \mathrm{m\, s^{-2}}\). Find the angle \(\alpha \) which ensures that the box moves on the slope with zero acceleration.
