Homework Statement



A box firstly at rest on a horizontel surface, needs a horizontal force to get it in motion. Though after in motion the box needs a force to keep in speed. Find static and kinetic coefficient of frictions.

Homework Equations



fk=mukFn
Fs=musFn

The Attempt at a Solution



I solved!

Try drawing a free body diagram so you can see everything a little bit more clearly. After that, just try and figure out what you need to meet the specifications of your problem. If the forces are unbalanced, Fapp does not equal Ff.
