Someone wishes to slide a heavy box of mass 150 kg across a horizontal floor. The coefficient of static friction is μs = 0.5. They can apply a maximum force of 700 N to the box in any direction. Is it possible for them to get it moving?

Answer:
Explanation:
The box will move a distance smaller than when it was empty. The force of friction has acted again to stop the box. This time the force of friction is larger because it is proportional to the normal force exerted by the floor on the box which itself is equal to the weight of the box..
