    Answer: 160N

    Explanation: Fr = coefficient x mass x acceleration due to gravity

    = 0.2x80x10=160N

    160N

    Explanation: When 80kg mass is one group. It's reaction force acting on a ground.

    Weight of the object = 80*10

    = 800 N

    Here we are given cofficient of static friction its 0.2. It should be smaller than 1

    Friction force = Reaction * Friction Cofficient

    Reaction = 800N (Considering Vertical Equilibrium)

    F = 800 * 0.2

    F = 160N
