Erosion happens when rocks and sediments are picked up and moved to another place by ice, water, wind or gravity.
If the pulling is done parallel to the floor with constant velocity, then the box is in equilibrium. In particular, the weight and normal force cancel, so that
<em>n</em> = 38 N
The friction force is proportional to the normal force by a factor of 0.27, so that
<em>f</em> = 0.27 (38 N) ≈ 10.3 N
and so the answer is D.
