1. A 20 kg moving box sits on a flat surface. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface is 0.60, and the coefficeint of kinetic friction is 0.40. Describe how you would need to push the box (applying a horizontal force) in order to start it sliding across the surface, and then keep it sliding across the surface with a constant velocity. (Include, in your desciption, the minimum force required to start it moving, and the amount of force required to maintain a conatnt veloicty one the box is moving).
