The box is on the slope as in the picture. The length of the slope is l=2m and the height is h=1.2m. The forces acting on the box are the force of gravity FG and the friction Ft. The force of gravity can be replaced by two components F1 and Fn. (The force F1 is parallel to the slope and Fn is perpendicular to the slope.) The friction Ft is given by the formula Ft=fFn where f is the coefficient of the friction. Consider the standard acceleration of gravity g=10ms2. Find the minimal value for the coefficient of the friction f to ensure that the box does not move with an acceleration.
