How do you calculate acceleration using a friction coefficient?

Use the diagram to determine the normal force, the net force, the coefficient of friction (μ) between the object and the surface, the mass, and the acceleration of the object. (Neglect air resistance.) Note: To simplify calculations, an approximated value of g is often used - 10 m/s/s.
