6) A push of magnitude P acts on a box of weight W as shown in the figure. The push is directed at an angle θ below the horizontal, and the box remains a rest. The box rests on a horizontal surface that has some friction with the box. The normal force on the box due to the floor is equal to A) W. B) W + P. C) W + P cos θ. D) W + P sin θ. E) W - P sin θ.

A force of magnitude P is exerted on a box of mass m, as shown in the figure. The force is directed at an angle ̸ below the horizontal, and the box remains a rest. The box rests on a horizontal surface, with which the box has a nonzero coefficient of friction. The normal force on the box due to the floor is equal to mg + P mg + P sin ̸ mg mg + P cos ̸ mg + P tan ̸

A box with a weight of W is at rest on a horizontal floor. A push of magnitude P acts on the box, directed at an angle θ below the horizontal. Despite the push, the box remains stationary because of friction between the floor and the box. The magnitude of the friction force on the box due to the floor is equal to P + W P cos θ + W P cos θ 0 P sin θ
