Force F=64Newtons.

Explanation:

This case is taken as Motion of block on a rough fixed horizontal surface.
In this case, if the block slides or moves with an acceleration under the influence of an external force 'F', the acceleration of the block is
$a=(F-f_"k")//m$
$=> F = ma + f_"k"$
Now substituting the values we get
F = (5)(12) + 4
$:. F = 64N$
