    25N

    Explanation:

    formula=> Frictional force = coefficient of friction x normal reaction

    normal reaction is mass x gravity (10N/kg)

    so Frictional force = 0.5x5x10

    =25N

    but that is the Frictional force not the constant force

    to get the constant force, subtract the Frictional force from the weight of the block

    weight = mass x gravity

    = 5x10

    = 50N

    50N-25N

    =25N
