To calculate the coefficient of static friction (\( \mu_s \)), we use the following formula:

\[
F_{\text{friction}} = \mu_s \cdot F_{\text{normal}}
\]

Where:
- \( F_{\text{friction}} \) is the maximum static friction force (28.9 N),
- \( F_{\text{normal}} \) is the normal force, which is equal to the weight of the box (mass \( m = 34.5 \, \text{kg} \)) times the acceleration due to gravity (\( g = 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)).

First, we calculate the normal force:

\[
F_{\text{normal}} = m \cdot g = 34.5 \, \text{kg} \times 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2
\]

Now let's solve for \( F_{\text{normal
