(a) The free body of all the forces include, frictional force, weight of the box acting perpendicular and another acting parallel to the plane.
(b) When the box is sliding down, the frictional force acts towards the right.
(c) When the box slides up, the direction of the frictional force changes, it acts towards the left.

Free body diagram</h3>
The free body diagram of all the forces on the box is obtained by noting the upward force and downward forces on the box as shown below;
/ W2
Ф → Ff
↓W1
where;
- Ff is the frictional force resisting the down motion of the box
- W1 is the perpendicular component of the box weight = Wcos(33)
- W2 is the parallel component of the box weight = Wsin(33)
(b) When the box is sliding down, the frictional force acts towards the right.
(c) When the box slides up, the direction of the frictional force changes, it acts towards the left.

Answer:
An <u>applied force</u> is a force that is applied to an object by a person or another object. If a person is pushing a desk across the room, then there is an applied force acting upon the object. The applied force is the force exerted on the desk by the person.
A <u>friction force</u> is the force exerted by a surface as an object moves across it or makes an effort to move across it. There are at least two types of friction force - sliding and static friction. Though it is not always the case, the friction force often opposes the motion of an object. For example, if a book slides across the surface of a desk, then the desk exerts a friction force in the opposite direction of its motion. Friction results from the two surfaces being pressed together closely, causing intermolecular attractive forces between molecules of different surfaces. As such, friction depends upon the nature of the two surfaces and upon the degree to which they are pressed together. The maximum amount of friction force that a surface can exert upon an object can be calculated using the formula below:
