A box with a mass of 0.5 slugs lies on an inclined plane making an angle of 30o with the horizontal.  If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the plane is 0.4, what is the magnitude of the force that must be applied parallel to the incline to keep the box moving down the incline at a constant speed?
