A large shipping crate is at rest on the horizontal floor of a warehouse. The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is μs = 0.500; the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.300. Assume that the estimation of the weight of the heaviest crate you could start sliding by pushing on it horizontally is about 100 lb. The magnitude of the maximum force can apply is 220N. With the same force, how far would the crate travel before reaching a speed of 8.0 m/s? Use the work-energy theorem.
