You are pushing a rubber crate against a concrete floor. The two surfaces have a static coefficient of friction of 0.61 and a kinetic coefficient of friction of 0.49. The floor is horizontal, and the crate has a mass of 25.0 kg, and is initially at rest. You are pushing with a horizontal force of 100 N. What is the magnitude of the force of friction in this case? Give your answer in units of N, to three significant figures.

In the figure, a slab of mass m1 = 40 kg rests on a frictionless floor, and a block of mass m2 = 10 kg rests on top of the slab. Between block and slab, the coefficient of static friction is 0.60, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.40. A horizontal force F→ of magnitude 104 N begins to pull directly on the block, as shown. In unit-vector notation, what are the resulting accelerations of (a) the block and (b) the slab?
