Answer

$f_k=1.9 \times 10^2 N$

Work Step by Step

Force of Kinetic friction is given as $f_k=\mu_kN$ where $N$ is the normal reaction and $N=mg$ Therefore, $f_k=\mu_kmg$ Putting the values of $\mu_k$,$m$ and $g$ into the formula and solving: $f_k=(0.35)(55)(9.8)$ $f_k=188.65 N$ $f_k=1.89\times 10^2 N$ After rounding off, $f_k\approx1.9 \times 10^2 N$
