Question

While you push a box you begin to decrease the force you are exerting on the box. When will the box reach static equilibrium?(1 point)
Responses

When Fpush=Ffriction
When cap f sub p u s h is equal to cap f sub f r i c t i o n

When Fpush>Ffriction
When cap f sub p u s h is greater than cap f sub f r i c t i o n

When Fpush<Ffriction
When Fpush<Ffriction

The box will not reach static equilibrium.

Answer 1

When Fpush = Ffriction.

Reason: static equilibrium (no net force, no acceleration) occurs when the applied push exactly balances the frictional force.
