Problem

A 4 kg4\,\text{kg} block slides on a rough horizontal table. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the table is 0.25 0.25\, (take g=10 m s−2g = 10\,\text{m s}^{-2}), the magnitude of the kinetic friction acting on the block is (a) 25 N25\,\text{N} (b) 10 N10\,\text{N} (c) 40 N40\,\text{N} (d) 2.5 N2.5\,\text{N}
