A box with parts weighs 500 N. How much force is required to move this box evenly

A box with parts weighs 500 N. How much force is required to move this box evenly on a horizontal floor if the friction force is 0.05 of the weight of the box?

P = 500 N.

Ftr = 0.05 * R.

F -?

According to 1 Newton’s law: a body can be in a state of rest or uniform rectilinear motion, if forces do not act on it or the action of other forces is compensated.

With a uniform movement of this box on the horizontal floor, the force F with which the box is pulled is compensated by the friction force Ffr.

F = Ftr.

F = 0.05 * P.

F = 0.05 * 500 N = 25 N.

Answer: for uniform rectilinear movement, force F = 25 N.
