The crate moves at constant velocity, this means that its acceleration is zero, so the net force acting on the crate is zero (Newton's second law).
There are only two forces acting on the crate: the force F applied by the worker and the frictional force, acting in the opposite direction:
, where 
is the coefficient of friction and 
is the mass of the crate. Since the net force should be equal to zero, the two forces must have same magnitude, so we have:
And so, this is the force that the worker must apply to the crate.
