A 250kg box is pushed horizontally with a force of 750 Newtons. If the coefficient of friction is 0.25, calculate the net acceleration of the crate.

I am confused how I am to find the net acceleration. I solved to find FN and FG is 2452 N is that correct

Yes, but multiply that by .25 to get the friction force

750 - 250 * 9.8 * .25 = 250 a

750 - 612 = 250 a
