    The minimum pulling force required to start it moving is

    equal to the static frictional force.

    F = (mass) x (gravity) x (coefficient of static friction).

    Once it's moving, the force required to keep it moving at a steady speed,

    without speeding up or slowing down, is the force of kinetic friction.

    F = (mass) x (gravity) x (coefficient of kinetic friction).

    In both equations, [ (mass) x (gravity) ] is just the object's 'weight'.
