A system consists of three masses m₁,m₂ and m₃ connected by a string passing over a pulley P. The mass $m_1$ hangs freely and m₂ and m₃ are on a rough horizontal table (the coefficient of friction=μ) The pulley is frictionless and of negligible mass.

A plank with a box on it at one end is gradually raised at the other end. As the angle of inclination with the horizontal reaches \(30^{\circ}\), the box starts to slip and slides \(4.0\) m down the plank in \(4.0\) s. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the box and the plank, respectively, will be:
