@ganeshie8 @hartnn can you help me? :)

here, we have to apply the first Newton's law. So we can write this vector equation: \[\huge {\mathbf{N}} + {\mathbf{W}} + {\mathbf{P}} + {\mathbf{R}} = {\mathbf{0}}\] where: |dw:1447000863799:dw| \(R\) is the friction force. From such vector equation, we can write this scalr equation: \[\Large W - mg\left( {\frac{A}{B}} \right) - \mu mg = 0\] where \(\Large \mu\) is the friction coefficient and \(\Large A=3,\,B=4\) Please solve that equation with respect to the coefficient \(\Large \mu\)
