Question

A block of mass 29.1 kg lies on a horizontal plane. A force F that is inclined 52.3° with the horizontal is applied to the block (pulled the block) causing it to move 12.5 meters in 5 seconds. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the horizontal surface is 0.64, find the magnitude (N) of the force F. Round off only on the final answer expressed in 3 decimal places.

When gravitational acceleration is needed, use 9.81 m/s2 or 32.2 ft/s2, whichever is applicable.
