A block of mass 4.0 kg rests on a horizontal surface where the coefficient of kinetic friction between the two is 0.20 . A string attached to the block is pulled horizontally, resulting in a 3.0-m/s2 acceleration by the block. Find the tension in the string. (g = 9.80 m/s2)
 a. 12 N
  b. 7.8 N
  c. 20 N
  d. 4.2 N
