Answer:
Magnitude of the force is 2601.9 N
Explanation:
m = 450 kg
coefficient of static friction μs = 0.73
coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.59
The force required to start crate moving is .
but once crate starts moving the force of friction is reduced .
Hence to keep crate moving at constant velocity we have to reduce the force pushing crate ie .
Then the above pushing force will equal the frictional force due to kinetic friction and constant velocity is possible as forces are balanced.
