The missing diagram is in the attachments.
Answer: X: positive Y: positive
Explanation: Electric field is a vector quantity, which means it can be represented by a vector arrow: the arrow points in the direction of electric field and its length represents the magnitude at a given location. There are another representation of the electric field called electric field lines, <u>in which the line points away from a positively charged source and towards a negatively charged source</u>. This occurs because it follows a pattern, where the lines points in the direction that a positive test charge would have if it is accelerating on the line.
Analyzing the diagram, it can be observed that the lines are pointing away from both of the charged objects. Therefore, both X and Y are <u>positively charged</u>.

In order to draw the free body diagram, first let's calculate the friction force acting on the crate:
Since the friction force is greater than the force applied, the crate will not move, and the friction force will be equal to the force applied.
The weight force is equal to 40 * 9.8 = 392 N.
So, drawing the diagram, we have:
