Problem

A 6 kg box on a rough horizontal floor is pulled by a rope that makes a 30∘30^{\circ} angle above the horizontal. The tension in the rope is 40 N40\,\text{N}. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the floor is μs=0.45\mu_s = 0.45. Determine whether the box remains at rest or begins to move when the tension is applied.
