3 The diagram shows a rope that is attached to a box of mass 25 kg , which is being pulled along rough horizontal ground. The rope is at an angle of \(30 ^ { \circ }\) to the ground. The tension in the rope is 40 N . The box accelerates at \(0.1 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 2 }\).

- Draw a diagram to show all of the forces acting on the box.
- Show that the magnitude of the friction force acting on the box is 32.1 N , correct to three significant figures.
- Show that the magnitude of the normal reaction force that the ground exerts on the box is 225 N .
- Find the coefficient of friction between the box and the ground.
- State what would happen to the magnitude of the friction force if the angle between the rope and the horizontal were increased. Give a reason for your answer.
