After struggling to move the refrigerator in Problem 41, you finally apply enough force to get it moving. What is the minimum force required to keep it moving with a constant velocity? Assume

(reference problem 41)

The coefficient of kinetic friction between a refrigerator (mass 100 kg) and the floor is 0.20, and the coefficient of static friction is 0.25. If you apply the minimum force needed to get the refrigerator to move, what will the acceleration then be?
