Friction is defined as the product of the normal force and friction coefficient.
On a horizontal surface, the normal force is equal to the weight. So in this case:
2kg * 10m/s/s = 20N
We do not know the friction coefficient from what is stated in the problem, but if we did, we could get our answer with:
20N * friction coefficient = friction force
