A 100 n box is at rest on a tabletop where the coefficients of friction are 0.4 static and 0.3 kinetic.  static  force of friction will be present if you push on it horizontally westward with 35 N.

W = 100N - Ms = 0.4 Mi = 0.3

F = 35N

F = W = 100N

Now, limiting friction is

Fl = mi. N

or fi = 0.4x 100 = 40N

Here, limiting friction is greater than the applied force so, box  will not move and remain at rest.

so, here only static friction will work.

fs = F = 35N

fs = 35N

fs = 35N static friction force

What is static friction force?

Static friction is the force that prevents an object from moving along a path. When two fabrics slide over each other, this friction occurs. All around us is friction. For example, when we walk,  our feet  touch  the floor.

When we move, the backward movement of our foot puts pressure on the floor while the other foot moves forward. Furthermore, when we apply this frictional force to the floor, the floor beneath our feet exerts an equal and opposite force. This is consistent with one law of motion.
