The crate is either in equilibrium sitting still or it translating to the right at constant velocity but will not tip, it weighs 846 lb, and μs = 0.240, μk = 0.223 between the crate and the floor.  Determine the friction force developed along the base if P = 237 lb.

Assuming the support reactions and load L are known and using section cut a-a to develop a left or right section free-body diagram, which single equation of equilibrium would allow for a direct solution for the force in member FG without requiring the use of any other equations?
