The box is on the slope as in the picture. The length of the slope is \(l = 2\, \mathrm{m}\) and the height is \(h = 1.2\, \mathrm{m}\). 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 \(F_{t} = fF_{n}\) where \(f\) is the coefficient of the friction. Consider the standard acceleration of gravity \(g = 10\, \mathrm{m\, s^{-2}}\). Find the minimal value for the coefficient of the friction \(f\) to ensure that the box does not move with an acceleration.
\(f = 0.75\)
\(f = 0.6\)
\(f = 0.65\)
\(f = 0.7\)
\(f = 0.55\)
\(f = 0.8\)
