    mathowa I suppose the related question was asked before the one you posted in the beginning. You work out the coefficient of kinetic friction given the answer to the frictional force question is 22.6. Hence the coefficient is 0.02.... (see my earlier picture for the related equation). Then use this coefficient to work out the two masses for the other question. You probably already know all this but wanted to make sure. I hate leaving loose ends :-)
