Hello everyone! I've got another one for ya if anyone can help:
A 5 kg box slides down a vertical wall while you push up on it at a 30 degree angle. What magnitude of force should you apply to cause the box to slide down at a constant speed? The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the wall is 0.1. An additional horizontal force if 5 N (which is perpendicular to the wall) is also applied to the box.

This problem has a diagram...I did my best to explain it, but let me know if you hae any question....(if anyone knows of a way for me to post the diagram, please let me know)
