Physics box of books question

You have a box of books on the floor that weighs 450 Newtons. You attach a rope to the box at an angle of 45 degrees above the horizontal. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.15 and the coefficient of static friction is 0.23 between the box and the floor, what tension force on the rope is needed to slide the box at a constant velocity?
