    Answer:

    So we are applying 80 N on the block, 20kg in mass and it moves with the acceleration of 2.5 m/s/s

    so we can find the force being applied on the block

    F = ma

    F = 20 X 2.5

    F = 50 N

    So only 50 N of the 80 N is being applied on the block.

    Hence, the remaining 80-50 = 30 N force is being used to overcome friction

    Force of Kinetic Friction = 30 N

    Now, in this case the Normal Force will be equal to the Force applied by gravity(Mg)

    So, Normal Force = 200 N

    Coefficient of kinetic friction = Force of Kinetic Friction / Normal Force

    Coefficient of kinetic friction = 30 / 200

    Coefficient of Kinetic Friction = 0.15
