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.

When Fpush = Ffriction.

Reason: static equilibrium means net force = 0 (no acceleration). If your push equals the frictional force (and ≤ the maximum static friction), the forces balance and the box will not move.
