The steepest street in the world is Baldwin Street in Dunedin, New Zealand. It has an inclination angle of \(38.0^\circ\) with respect to the horizontal. Suppose a wooden crate with a mass of \(25.0\,\text{kg}\) is placed on Baldwin Street. An additional force of \(59\,\text{N}\) must be applied to the crate perpendicular to the pavement in order to hold the crate in place. If the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the pavement is \(0.599\), what is the magnitude of the frictional force?
