A. 500 N
B. 456 N
C. 300 N
D. 656 N

Given
m=49kg
Coefficient of friction=0.95
OpenStudy (shamim):
Weight of49 kg=mg=49*9.8=?
OpenStudy (shamim):
Static frictional force= coefficient of static friction*R=0.95*49*9.8=?
OpenStudy (shamim):
Because R=weight=49*9.8
OpenStudy (shamim):
U know R is a force acting on the object by the floor

Weight is a force acting on the floor by luggage
OpenStudy (shamim):
U know
Every action has an equal n oposit reaction
OpenStudy (shamim):
So weight has also an equal n oposit reaction
OpenStudy (shamim):
So
Weight=R
OpenStudy (shamim):
Weight n R oposit too
