Solution

Proper reasoning : 2 Marks

Friction is caused by the interlocking of irregularities in the two surfaces. It is obvious that the force of friction will increase if the two surfaces are pressed harder. So the heavier box is pressed harder than the empty box so it experiences greater friction.
