Fb = 15kg * 9.8 = 147N @ 32deg = Force of box.
Fp = 147*sin32 = 77.9N = Force parallel to the plane.
Fv = 147*cos32 = 124.7N = Force perpendicular to the plane.
Fp - uFv = ma,
77.9 - 124.7u = 15 * 0.30,
77.9 - 124.7u = 4.5,
-124.7u = 4.5 - 77.9 = - 73.4,
u = -73.4 /- 124.7 = 0.59 = coefficient of friction.
Ff=uFv = 0.59 * 124.7N = 73.6 = Force of friction.
