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

The correct response is:

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.

In static equilibrium, all the forces acting on an object are balanced. Therefore, the pushing force must equal the frictional force for the box to be in static equilibrium.
