Question

while you push a box you begin to decrease the force you are exerting on the box. when will the box reach static equilibrium? (1 point)

when $f_{push}=f_{friction}$

when $f_{push}>f_{friction}$

when $f_{push}

the box will not reach static equilibrium.

Explanation:

Static equilibrium occurs when the net force acting on an object is zero. In the case of pushing a box, the forces acting horizontally are the pushing force ($F_{push}$) and the frictional force ($F_{friction}$). When $F_{push}=F_{friction}$, the net horizontal force is zero and the box is in static equilibrium.

Answer:

When $F_{push}=F_{friction}$
