A table with a mass of 22 kg has the following items on it: A box (67 N), small toy (11 N), a pair of shoes (43 N), a stuffed bear (21 N), a pile of rocks (13 N), and a glass bowl (10 N). If the coefficient of static friction between the table and the floor is 0.235 how much force would be necessary to get the table moving?

All I have so far that is that the total mass of the table with the objects is 187N

It is not 187N
