Important Questions on Friction

MEDIUM
A heavy box is to be dragged along a rough horizontal floor. To do so, the person A pushes it at an angle 30° from the horizontal and requires a minimum force FA, while the person B pulls the box at an angle 60° from the horizontal and needs minimum force FB. If the coefficient of friction between the box and the floor is 35, the ratio FAFB is
