Coefficient of Kinetic friction and Friction force help Thanks

Homework Statement

Im working on some typical "Ramp being pulled up an incline" questions and have trouble understanding something.

An example question where it stats a box is being pulled up a ramp like the image below:

Now, first: In order to find the friction force exerted on the box.

Would I simply just apply this: Δk - ΔUgravity / distance ?

AND...To find the coefficient of Kinetic friction, do I just go:

First find the normal force? which would be: n -mg cos 30 = 0, solve for n, which is 42.2N

THEN, just use this formula? ; fk = µk n ?

Isn't n = mg cos(30) ?
Yes, Ff = µk*n and Ff = Δk - ΔUgravity / distance
