A horizontal force P of 379 N is applied on the crate of weight W=870 N. Initially the crate is left motionless. Find the magnitude and direction of friction force that are applied by the flat surface on the crate. Take the value of coefficient of static friction as 0.47 and the value of coefficient of kinetic friction as 0.33.
