Each box weighs 10 lb. The coefficient of static friction between box A and box B is 0.24, and the coefficient of static friction between box B and the inclined surface is 0.3. What is the largest angle α for which box B will not slip?

Strategy: Draw individual free-body diagrams of the two boxes and write their equilibrium equations assuming that slip of box B is impending.
