\end{figure} A small box is pushed along a floor. The floor is modelled as a rough horizontal plane and the box is modelled as a particle. The coefficient of friction between the box and the floor is \(\frac { 1 } { 2 }\). The box is pushed by a force of magnitude 100 N which acts at an angle of \(30 ^ { \circ }\) with the floor, as shown in Figure 1. Given that the box moves with constant speed, find the mass of the box.
