The horizontal pushing force required to just start the crate moving is 447 N.The horizontal pushing force required to slide the crate across the dock at a constant speed is 241 N.

Explanation:

By the definition of the coefficient of static friction we have:

μ $_{s}$ = $\frac{F_{appl} }{W}= \frac{F_{s} }{N}$ ,

where, $F_{appl}$ is the horizontal pushing force,

W = mg is the weight of the crate directed downward,

$F_{s}$ is the static friction force-directed opposite to the horizontal pushing force and equal to it,

N is the force of reaction directed upward and equal to the weight of the crate.

From this formula we can find the horizontal pushing force required to just start the crate moving:

$F_{appl} = F_{s} = u_{s}N = u_{s}mg$

= 0.760 $\times$ 60 kg $\times$ 9.8 m / s^2

= 447 N.

By the definition of the coefficient of kinetic friction we have:

u $_{k} = \frac{F_{appl} }{W} = \frac{F_{k} }{N}$ ,

where, $F_{appl}$ is the horizontal pushing force,

W = mg is the weight of the crate directed downward,

$F_{k}$ is the kinetic friction force-directed opposite to the horizontal pushing force and equal to it,

N is the force of reaction directed upward and equal to the weight of the crate.

From this formula we can find the horizontal pushing force required to slide the crate across the dock at a constant speed:

$F_{appl} = F_{k} = u_{k}N = u_{k}mg$

= 0.410 $\times$ 60 $\times$ 9.8

= 241 N.

The horizontal pushing force required to just start the crate moving is 447 N.The horizontal pushing force required to slide the crate across the dock at a constant speed is 241 N.
