A 5.5-kg block is sliding down a wall with constant velocity. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the wall is ?s = 0.70. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the wall is ?k = 0.40. What is the magnitude of the force (in N) pressing the block against the wall? Use g = 9.79 m/s2.
