Two workers are sliding 390 kg crate across the floor. One worker pushes forward on the crate with a force of 450 NN while the other pulls in the same direction with a force of 290 NN using a rope connected to the crate. Both forces are horizontal, and the crate slides with a constant speed. What is the crate's coefficient of kinetic friction on the floor?

You managed to pull a heavy crate up a ramp on a truck. The crate has mass 47 kg. You were pulling with 464 N of force along the ramp while the ramp made an angle of theta=25.0 degrees with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the ramp is 0.45. What is the acceleration of the crate along the ramp?
Captain Jack Sparrow is pushing a treasure chest across the wooden deck of his trusty ship, The Black Pearl. The chest is much shorter than he is, so his applied force makes an angle of 55.0° below the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the chest and the deck has a value of 0.366, and the chest has a mass of 219 kg. Draw a diagram showing all of the forces that are acting on the chest. If a force needs to be broken up into components, show the components and formulas for the components.
