A 29.0-kg block is initially at rest on a horizontal surface. A horizontal force of 76.0 N is required to set the block in motion, after which a horizontal force of 57.0 N is required to keep the block moving with constant speed.
(a) Find the coefficient of static friction between the block
and the surface.
(b) Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and
the surface.

Given mass of block, 
(a) Find the coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface.
When the block is about to move, frictional force acting is static friction force
Force applied, 
Consider the block
Net force = Mass * Acceleration =0
Net Force = 0







(a) ANSWER :
=====================
(b) Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface.
When the block starts moving frictional force acting is kinetic friction force
Since the block is moving with constant speed, acceleration is zero
Net force =Mass * Acceleration =0
Net Force = 0







(b) ANSWER :
=====================
