The friction force experienced by the box in Newtons is 724N

The frictional force is the force that opposes the moving force acting on a body on a horizontal plane.

According to Newton's second law of motion:

Given the following paramters

Substitute the given parameters into the formula to get the frictional force:

724 - Ff = 119(0)

724 - Ff = 0

Ff = 0 + 724

Ff = 724N

Hence the friction force experienced by the box in Newtons is 724N
