Obtain what the coefficients of static and kinetic friction

Reference no: EM13715736

Problem: A dockworker loading crates on a ship finds that a 17 kg crate, initially at rest on a horizontal surface, requires a 83 N horizontal force to set it in motion. However, after the crate is in motion, a horizontal force of 55 N is required to keep it moving with a constant speed.

Part A: Find the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between crate and floor.

I need help to find the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between crate and floor.
