I need to find the coefficient of the kinetic force and the kinetic force?

[rainingurl]

Homework Statement

a block is accelerating 2.31m/sec^2 horizontally. the block is .2485Kg. what is the coefficient of the kinetic force and the kinetic force?

Homework Equations

Normal force = weight = mg
Fk= kinetic friction coefficient (µkinetic) / normal force (Fnormal)
kinetic friction coefficient (µkinetic) = kinetic friction * normal force (Fnormal)

The Attempt at a Solution

Fg= mg = .2485kg*9.8m/sec^2 = 2.4353N = normal force

Try writing an F=ma equation for the x-direction. This should give you an equation for the frictional force and since you have already solved for the normal force you should be able to solve for both the coefficient of kinetic friction and the total frictional force.
