Dear Pallavi,

The kinetic friction generated due the horizontal forces on the box is given by the formula Fk= μkmg = 0.25 * 20 * 9.8 N = 49N

 

Please feel free to post as many doubts on our discussion forum as you can. If you find any question

While in motion only the kinetic friction acts. f=uN.

                                                               f=umg

                                                                =0.25*20*9.8

                                                                =49N

so the friction exerted by the horizontal forces is 49N.
