According to Chris is me,

"For calculation purposes in a drivetrain, I've been told 1.4 is a safe static CoF for roughtop on carpet in the direction of motion (basically, when gearing for traction limited pushing power / acceleration)

If you need more precision than a good estimate, I would experimentally determine this for yourself."
