Isaac pulls a 50 kg box containing the toy car as a gift of his father on his 10th birthday across a level floor with a force of 200 N. If the force acts at an angle of 30° up from the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.30, determine:
the normal force exerted on the box by the floor;
the frictional force exerted on the crate by the floor;
the acceleration of the box.
