Answer:
F = 69.5 [N]
Explanation:
We must remember that the friction force is defined as the product of the normal force by the coefficient of friction, and it can be calculated by the following expression.
where:
N = normal force [N]
miu = friction coefficient
f = friction force = 22 [N]
Now we must calculate the force exerted by means of Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.
where:
F = force exerted [N]
f = friction force [N]
m = mass = 95 [kg]
a = acceleration = 0.5 [m/s²]
Now replacing:
The amount of heat given by the water to the block of ice can be calculated by using
where
is the mass of the water
is the specific heat capacity of water
is the variation of temperature of the water.
Using these numbers, we find
This is the amount of heat released by the water, but this is exactly equal to the amount of heat absorbed by the ice, used to melt it into water according to the formula:
where
is the mass of the ice while 
is the specific latent heat of fusion of the ice.
Re-arranging this formula and using the heat Q that we found previously, we can calculate the mass of the ice:
where
Using these numbers, we find
This is the amount of heat released by the water, but this is exactly equal to the amount of heat absorbed by the ice, used to melt it into water according to the formula:
where
Re-arranging this formula and using the heat Q that we found previously, we can calculate the mass of the ice:
