A clerk moves a box of cans down an aisle by pulling on a strap attached to the box. The clerk pulls with a force of 173.0 N at an angle of 31° with the horizontal. The box has a mass of 40 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0.45. Find the acceleration of the box.
