Suppose you are performing an experiment on a crate of 45-kg tools resting on a horizontal floor. You exert a gradually increasing horizontal push on it and observe that the crate just begins to move when your force exceeds 313 N. After that you must reduce your push to 208 N to keep it moving at a steady 25 cm/s. What is the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor?
The question stated that: While moving in, a new homeowner is pushing a box across the floor at a constant velocity. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0.41. The pushing force is directed downward at an angle θ below the horizontal. When θ is greater than a certain value, it is not possible to move the box, no matter how large the pushing force is. Find that value of θ.
I'm unsure about how to draw the free-body diagram and as well as solving the equation. If there's any tips regarding this question it will greatly help! Thanks!
