Solve the all parts of following problem:

Problem: A 50 kg steel file cabinet is in the back of a dump truck. The trucks bed, also made of steel, is slowly tilted.

Part A: What is the size of the static friction force on the cabinet when the bed is tilted at 20.o?

Part B: At what angle will the file cabinet begin to slide if the coefficient of static friction of steel on steel is µ¬s= 0.80 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is µ¬k = 0.60?

Please explain each step and equations used.
