A large box of mass 11.4 kg sits on a ramp that makes an angle of 30.1 degrees with the horizontal. The surface of the ramp is rough and the coefficients of static and kinetic friction are given as 0.56 and 0,38, respectively. We exert a force up the ramp (parallel to the ramp surface) so that the box does not move. Calculate the maximum and the minimum magnitude of the force we can exert so that the box does not move. Enter the difference between the maximum and the minimum force values here: Fmax-Fmin (in Newtons). On your paper, show all the forces on free-body diagrams, clearly show your work, your derivation and calculations. Make sure to include your physics-based reasoning.
