A person pushes a box along the ground. The box has the force diagram shown below. Examine the force diagram to answer the following questions: a. Is the box in equilibrium? If so explain how you can tell. If not, explain why not. b. If the person wants the box to move at constant velocity, should they adjust their pushing on the block? If so, explain how they should change their push. If not, explain why they should change nothing about their push. Normal force (ground) Normal force (person) Friction force (ground) Gravity (Earth)
