The 20kg box illustrated in the diagram is transported on a platform which is attached to two identical, parallel arms. The arms rotate in the indicated direction at the given constant rate. Assuming that the box does not slide relative to the platform,find the static friction coefficient over the contact surface between the box and the platform. Use the scalar method to solve this problem
