The frictional force of an object is the product of the normal force and coefficient of kinetic friction. Here the frictional force acting on the object is 16.4 N.
<h3>What is frictional force?</h3>
Frictional force is a kind of force acting on a body to resist it from motion. Thus, the direction of the force will be in negative with the magnitude. Frictional force is the product of coefficient of friction and the normal force.
The normal force acting on the object of mass 4.2 Kg is N = mg
N = 4.2 Kg × 9.8 m/s² = 41.16 N
Frictional force = ц N
= 0.40 × 41.16 N
= 16.4 N.
Therefore, the frictional force acting between the surface of the object and the floor is 16.4 N

Your question is incomplete. But your complete question probably was:
The coefficient of kinetic friction between an object and the surface upon which it is sliding is 0.40 the weight of the object is 4.2 kg. What is the frictional force of the object?
The equation we use is mλ=dsinθ for intensity maximas. We are given at the first maximum (m=1), it occurs at 17.8 degrees. Thus we can solve for d by substituting known values into our equation.
(1) (632.8*10^-9m)=dsin(17.8) => d = 2.07*10^-6m
Next we want to find the angle at the second maximum (m=2) so we need to solve for θ.
(2) (632.8*10^-9m) = (2.07*10^-6m)sinθ
θ=37.69 degrees
Hopes this helps!
P.S. I hope this is right. If not sorry in advance.
