### Study of Forces Acting on a Block

**Description:**

A horizontal force, \( F_1 = 55 \, \text{N} \), and a force, \( F_2 = 10.4 \, \text{N} \) acting at an angle of \( \theta \) to the horizontal, are applied to a block of mass \( m = 4.7 \, \text{kg} \). The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is \( \mu_k = 0.2 \). The block is moving to the right.

**Randomized Variables:**

- \( F_1 = 55 \, \text{N} \)
- \( F_2 = 10.4 \, \text{N} \)
- \( m = 4.7 \, \text{kg} \)

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram on the right illustrates the forces acting on a block of mass \( m \) on a horizontal surface. The following components are depicted in the diagram:

- **Block (m)**: The block is shown with its mass (\( m \)) indicated.
- **Forces**: 
  - \( F_1 \): A horizontal force acting to the right.
  - \( F_2 \): Another force acting at an angle \( \theta \) to the horizontal (depicted as an arrow making an angle θ with the horizontal direction).
- **Coordinate System**: 
  - The \( x \)-axis is indicated as the horizontal axis.
  - The \( y \)-axis is vertical.
- **Surface and Friction**: The surface under the block is labeled with the coefficient of kinetic friction (\( \mu_k \)).

This setup is typically used to analyze the dynamics of the block, including the effects of the applied forces and friction on its motion.
