.

The frictional force, for the given conditions, is the product of the weight and the friction coefficient


     = W*μ = 26.10*0.332 = 8.665 kg force,


or, if to use Newtons as the unit of the weight,


     = mg*μ = 26.10*9.81*0.332 = 85 newtons.

Solved.

----------------

Post-solution note: 

    Just about 60 years, kilograms are not used as a force measure, been replaced by Newtons.
