Homework Statement
A horizontal force of 150 N is used to push a 40.0 kg packing crate a distance of 6.00 m on a rough horizontal surface. If the crate moves at constant speed, find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the surface.
Homework Equations
fK= coeff. of kin. friction X N
Fy= -mgy + normal force
The Attempt at a Solution
I started by using Fy= -mgy + N to be 0= -40 (9.8) (cos 0) + N and found N be 392. But now I'm not sure where to go from here to find the coefficient of kinetic friction. Can anyone help?
