Simple forces problem no incline

Homework Statement

this is simple but I am stuck

in a lab, a 6kg block is pushed across a flat table by a horizontal force F. if the box is moving at a constant speed of 0.350m/s and the coefficient of kinetic friction is .12 what is the magnitude of F

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

first i drew a picture and figured the object weight would be (m*g) = -58.8 and since it is horizontal the normal force would be balanced with this value. from there i tried to find the force of friction using Force of friction equals normal force*coefficient of kinetic friction and got 7.066N

i need help on where to go from here since the block is not accelerating, and i have a constand speed of .35m/s

Yes, that's fine, and you're almost finished.

All you have to do is use F_total = ma with a = 0.

(oh, and the speed is completely irrelevant! )
