Question
he force diagram below shows a box accelerating to the right on a horizontal surface of negligible friction.
The tension T is exerted at an angle of 30˚ above the horizontal. If μ is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the surface, which of the following is a correct mathematical equation derived by applying Newton’s second law to the box?
