In loading a fish delivery truck, a person pushes a block of ice up a 200 incline at constant speed. The push is 150N in magnitude and parallel to the incline. The block has a mass of 35.0 kg. What is the force of kinetic friction on the block of ice?

150N because it moves at constant speed. Forces are hence at equilibrium, there is no net force, so the friction force parallel to the slope is equal to the force pushed with.
