uysha [10]

Answer:

f = 692 N

Explanation:

given data:

f =800N

a =1.2 m s^{2}

m= 90 kg

from newton's second law

net force F_{net} =\sum F = F_1 +F_2 +..... = ma

therefore we have from above equationF_{net} = F -f = ma

ma =F - f

putting all value to get force of friction

1.2*90 = 800 - f

f = 692 N
