Problem

A worker pushes straight downward on a 10 kg10\,\text{kg} crate sliding across a level warehouse floor with an additional 35 N35\,\text{N} downward force (besides the crate’s weight). The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor is 0.300.30. Compute the kinetic friction force acting on the crate. Use g=9.8 m/s2g = 9.8\,\text{m/s}^2.
