Question

The force of friction acting on a sliding crate
is 136 N.
How much force must be applied to maintain a constant velocity?
Answer in units of N.

What will be the net force acting on the crate?
Answer in units of N.
constant velocity means no acceleration. So, 136N is needed.
F = ma, so if a=0, net force F = 0
