Problem

A wooden crate of mass 20 kg20\,\text{kg} is pulled along a horizontal floor through a distance of 8 m8\,\text{m} with constant speed. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor is 0.250.25. Calculate the magnitude of the work done by the frictional force during this motion. (Give your answer in joule.)
