5. A block weighing 60 N rests on a horizontal Solution:

floor. a) What is the minimum force that will make
the block move if the coefficient of static friction
is 0.20? b) What is the minimum force that will
keep the block moving at uniform speed once it
starts moving if the coefficient of kinetic friction is
0.10?
