You want to move a 150 kg crate across a level floor. To start the crate moving, you have to pull with a 230-N horizontal force. What is the coefficient of static friction?

A large shipping crate is at rest on the horizontal floor of a warehouse. The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is μs = 0.500; the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.300. Assuming that the estimated weight of the heaviest crate you could start sliding by pushing on it horizontally is about 100 lb. Based on this estimate, what is the magnitude of the maximum force you can apply?

A girl exerts a horizontal force of 109 N on a crate with a mass of 39.2 kg. (a) If the crate doesn't move, what's the magnitude of the static friction force (in N)? (b) What is the minimum possible value of the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor? (Assume the crate remains stationary.)
