Answer:

The normal force is 85,42 N

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no friction force, therefore there is no relationship between the normal force and the friction.

We can find the normal force using a free body diagram and check the forces that are acting on the sled. The total forces are equal to 0 because there is no movement in the y-axis. The movement exists only on the x-axis.
