I just wanted to know how to calculate magnitude of the reactive force...The given values are for,mass,angle,distance,coefficient of kinetic friction and gravity..

The reactive force is the force that is generated in response to an action or force. It is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the applied force in order to maintain equilibrium.
The magnitude of the reactive force can be calculated using Newton's Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that the magnitude of the reactive force will be equal to the magnitude of the applied force.
The magnitude of the reactive force is affected by the magnitude and direction of the applied force, as well as the distance between the two objects or bodies. Additionally, the properties of the materials involved, such as their elasticity and friction, can also affect the magnitude of the reactive force.
No, the magnitude of the reactive force cannot be negative. This is because the reactive force is always equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the applied force. However, the direction of the reactive force can be negative if it is acting in the opposite direction of the applied force.
The magnitude of the reactive force is directly related to the acceleration of an object. According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the net force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration. Since the reactive force is equal in magnitude to the applied force, it is also directly related to the acceleration of the object.
