You should have something here!

Hi jelzap.

What have you tried? Where are you stuck?

 

[jelzap]

well, i found the acceleration of the rock, i need to know what to do from there

M(A)=Fnety
M(A)= Fa+ Ff
M(a)=-(18*9.8) + 129N
18a=(-176.4)+129
a=47.4 (what are the units here?)

What do i do from here?

You have: 18a=(-176.4)+129, which gives →  (18kg)a = (-47.4N).

How do you get a = 47.4?   What happened to the 18?   What happened to the "−" sign?

1 Newton = 1 kg·m/s².   What units for Newton/kg ??

Look for a kinematic relationship involving: distance, (constant) acceleration, and time.

Draw the FBD and find net force acting on the rock
equate it to ma_net (you can predict the direction pretty easily)

Find a_net

now use second eqn of motion
