Minimum Force for Overcoming Friction on a Wooden Box

[JoeDoe]

Homework Statement

A 20 kg wooden box is pushed a distance of 15 meters on a horizontal stone floor, by a force just sufficient to overcome the friction between the box and floor. The coefficient of kinetic energy is 0.40. What is the minimun force required?

Thanks.
