Answer:

554.265 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Without moving it means it is static. Since we know that normal friction is given by N=mg where m is the mass and g is acceleration due to gravity.

The static friction will then be given by multiplying the normal reaction by the coefficient of static friction. Taking g as 9.81, m as 113 kg and 0.5 for coefficient of static friction then

Fs= 0.5*113*9.81=554.265 N
