Answer: 12.6 newtons

Explanation:

Take the equation, static force equals static friction times normal force. ( F = μn )

Divide both sides by static friction so normal force is the answer.

( F / μ = n )

Insert your numbers (4.11 F and 0.325 μ) into the equation to get your answer.

( 4.11 / 0.325 = n )

n = 12.6

My first time helping someone and future people on this site. This is the answer I put in and got right.
