The 64-lb force $P$ is applied to the 150-lb crate, which is stationary before the force is applied. Determine the magnitude and direction of the friction force $F$ exerted by the horizontal surface on the crate. The friction force is positive if to the right, negative if to the left. Assume $\mu_s = 0.42$, $\mu_k = 0.30$.
$P$
$\mu_s$
$\mu_k$
Answer: $F = $
