A box of mass m is initially at rest on a horizontal surface. A constant horizontal force of mg/2 is applied to the box directed to the right. The coefficient of friction of the surface changes with the distance pushed as `mu=mu_(0)x` where x is the distance fr4om the initial location . For what distance is the box pushed until it comes to rest again?

A box of mass M is at rest on a horizontal surface. A boy of mass m (lt M) wants to push the box by applying a horizontal force on it. The boy knows that he will not be able to push the box as the coefficient of friction mu between his shoes and ground is almost equal to that between the box and the ground. He decides to run, acquire a speed u and then bang into the box. After hitting the box, the boy keeps pushing as hard as possible. What is the maximum distance through which the box can be displaced this way ?
