A plastic box is sitting on a steel beam. One end of the steel beam isslowly raised, increasing the angle of the surface until the box begins toslip. If the box begins to slip when the beam is at an angle of 41 degrees,what is the static coefficient of friction between the steel beam and theplastic box?41°
