3 A box weighing 130 N is on a rough plane inclined at \(12 ^ { \circ }\) to the horizontal.
The box is held at rest on the plane by the action of a force of magnitude 70 N acting up the plane in a direction parallel to a line of greatest slope of the plane.
The box is on the point of slipping up the plane.
- Find the coefficient of friction between the box and the plane.
The force of magnitude 70 N is removed.
- Determine whether or not the box remains in equilibrium.
