Answer
When a small force F1 is applied on a heavier box, it does not move At this state force of friction f1 is equal to F1 . On increasing force box does not move till F = Fs the maximum static frictional or limiting force. Its corresponding frictional force fs on Y-axis. 
After force Fs , the frictional force decrease i.e., less force $\text{F}_\text{k}<\text{F}_\text{s}$ is applied on body and it starts to move with less friction $\text{f}_\text{k}<\text{f}_\text{s}$
After force Fs , the frictional force decrease i.e., less force $\text{F}_\text{k}<\text{F}_\text{s}$ is applied on body and it starts to move with less friction $\text{f}_\text{k}<\text{f}_\text{s}$ A = limiting frictional force and at B = kinetic frictional force.

A cubical box of volume 216cm3 is made up of 0.1cm thick wood. The inside is heated electrically by a 100W heater. It is found that the temperature difference between the inside and the outside surface is 5°C in steady state. Assuming that the entire electrical energy spent appears as heat, find the thermal conductivity of the material of the box.
