New homeowner is pushing a box across the floor

Reference no: EM13558261

While moving in, a new homeowner is pushing a box across the floor at a constant velocity. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0.41. The pushing force is directed downward, at an angle theta below the horizontal. when theta is greater than a certain value, it is not possible to move the box no matter how large the pushing force is. Find the value of theta.
