A 25.0 -kg block is initially at rest on a horizontal surface. A horizontal force of $75.0 \mathrm{N}$ is required to set the block in motion, after which a horizontal force of $60.0 \mathrm{N}$ is required to keep the block moving with constant speed. Find (a) the coefficient of static friction and (b) the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface.
