$A$ block of mass $m=2 \ kg$ is initially at rest on a horizontal surface. $A$ horizontal force $F_1=(6 \ N) \hat{i}$ and a vertical force $F_2=(10 \ N) \hat{j}$ are then applied to the block. The coefficients of static friction and kinetic friction for the block and the surface are $0.4$ and $0.25$, respectively. The magnitude of the frictional force acting on the block is (assume $g=10 \ m/s^2$): (in $N$)
