Answer:
The frictional force on the block is 118 N.
Explanation:
Given;
horizontal force applied on the block, f = 80 N
mass of the block, m = 20.0 kg
coefficient of friction, μ = 0.6
The frictional force on the block is calculated as;
F = μR
F = μ(mg)
F = 0.6(20 x 9.81)
F = 117.7 N
F = 118 N.
Therefore, the frictional force on the block is 118 N.
