Answer:

36.75 N

Explanation:

Applying

F = mgμ................. Equation 1

Where F = Friction force on the box, m = mass of the box, g = acceleration due to gravity of the box, μ = coefficient of static friction

From the question,

Given: m = 15 kg, μ = 0.25

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

F = 15(9.8)(0.25)

F = 36.75 N

Hence the friction force on the box is 36.75 N
