### Inclined Plane Friction Calculation

A 19.0 kg box is placed at the top of an inclined plane and released to either move freely or sit at rest. The plane is at an angle of \(30^\circ\) above the ground and has a total length of \(d = 2.80\) m along the incline. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the plane is \(\mu_s = 0.40\) and the coefficient of kinetic friction is \(\mu_k = 0.30\). What kind of friction does the box experience once it is released, and what is its magnitude?

#### Diagram Description
The diagram accompanying the problem depicts:
- An inclined plane with an angle \(\theta\) of \(30^\circ\).
- A box of mass \(m\) placed on the inclined plane.
- The length of the inclined plane (\(d\)) is shown as 2.80 meters.

#### Answer Choices
1. **Kinetic, \(F_{kf} = 55.9\) N**
2. **Static, \(F_{sf} = 74.5\) N**
3. **Static, \(F_{sf} = 64.5\) N**
4. **Kinetic, \(F_{kf} = 48.4\) N**

#### Solution Analysis
To determine the kind of friction and its magnitude, we must first calculate the forces involved:

1. **Calculate the component of gravitational force parallel to the incline:**
   \[
   F_{parallel} = mg \sin(\theta)
   \]
   where \(m = 19.0\) kg, \(g = 9.8\) m/s\(^2\), and \(\theta = 30^\circ\).

2. **Calculation:**
   \[
   F_{parallel} = 19.0 \times 9.8 \times \sin(30^\circ) = 19.0 \times 9.8 \times 0.5 = 93.1 \, \text{N}
   \]

3. **Calculate the component of gravitational force perpendicular to the incline:**
   \[
   F_{perpendicular} = mg \cos(\theta)
   \]
   
4. **Calculation:**
   \[
   F_{perpendicular} = 19.0 \times 9.
