A block of mass $10\mathit{k}\mathit{g}$ rests on a horizontal floor. The acceleration due to gravity is $9.81\mathit{m}/{\mathit{s}}^2$. The coefficient of static friction between the floor and the block is $0.2$. A horizontal force of $10\mathit{N}$ is applied on the block as shown in the figure. The magnitude of force of friction (in $\mathit{N}$ ) on the block is______________
