Friction: You push horizontally on a 120-N box that is initially resting on a horizontal table. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the table is 0.75, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.40. Find the friction force on the box if the push is equal to (a) 84 N; (b) 94 N.

Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).


(a) 84 N (b) 48 N
