A baby puppy is sleeping in a box on a table that is beside a cliff. Suddenly two table legs get eaten away by a beaver and the table tilts over forming an inclined plane. The combined mass of the puppy and the box is 14.5kg. The table is now at an angle of 22.5o. The coefficient of friction between the table and the box is 0.426. Draw a free body diagram and calculate the forces acting on the puppy. Does the puppy slide down the incline? Prove using physics principles.
