The box will not reach static equilibrium.

1 answer

The box will reach static equilibrium when the force you are exerting on it (F_push) is equal to the frictional force opposing its motion (F_friction). Therefore, the correct response is:

When F_push = F_friction (When cap f sub p u s h is equal to cap f sub f r i c t i o n)
