A small box of mass 40 kg is moved along a rough horizontal floor by three men. Two of the men apply horizontal forces of magnitudes 100 N and 120 N , making angles of \(30 ^ { \circ }\) and \(60 ^ { \circ }\) respectively with the positive \(x\)-direction. The third man applies a horizontal force of magnitude \(F \mathrm {~N}\) making an angle of \(\alpha ^ { \circ }\) with the negative \(x\)-direction (see diagram). The resultant of the three horizontal forces acting on the box is in the positive \(x\)-direction and has magnitude 136 N .
- Find the values of \(F\) and \(\alpha\).
- Given that the box is moving with constant speed, state the magnitude of the frictional force acting on the box and hence find the coefficient of friction between the box and the floor.
