1. A 20 kg moving box sits on a flat surface. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface is 0.60, and the coefficeint of kinetic friction is 0.40. Describe how you would need to push the box (applying a horizontal force) in order to start it sliding across the surface, and then keep it sliding across the surface with a constant velocity. (Include, in your desciption, the minimum force required to start it moving, and the amount of force required to maintain a conatnt veloicty one the box is moving).

4. You are pushing horizontally with a 300 N force on a box that is on an inclined plane as shown. The mass of the box is 30 kg and the incline is at a 25 degree angle off the Fapplied horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the incline is 0.3, and the coefficient of static friction i 0.4. Assuming the box was at rest at t=0 when the force is initially applied, is the box moving up the ramp, down the ramp, or is it at rest after the force has been applied? 25⁰
