Question
When you push a 1.92-kg book resting on a tabletop, you have to exert a force of 2.05 N to start the book sliding. Once it is sliding, however, you can use a force of only 1.03 N to keep the book moving with constant speed. What are the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the book and the tabletop?
