Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

the friction force= KE*mass of object*gravity

Fforce=0.81*71*9.8

friction=563.598N

on the horizontal direction, total force=650-friction

=(650-563.598)N

=86.402 N is the net force

Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.
