    Weight Force of Junior = m g = 115kg x 9.81 m/s^2 = 1128.15N then compute for the friction force

    Friction Force = WF x (coefficient of kinetic friction) = 1128.15N x 0.35 = 394.8525N or 395N

    But you can compute in a straightway:

    Solution:

    = 115 x 9.81 x 0.35

    = 394.85

    = 395 N

    It will still give the same results.
