    0.15

    Explanation:

    mass, m = 186 kg

    Force, F = 273 N

    Let μ be the coefficient of friction

    As the block is moving with constant velocity so acceleration is zero.

    Let f be the friction force.

    F - f = ma

    273 - f = 0

    f = 273

    μ mg = 273

    μ x 186 x 9.8 = 273

    μ = 0.15

    Thus, the coefficient of friction is 0.15.
