F>=49,05" "NF49,05 N

Explanation:

enter image source here
color(brown)(F_f)=color(red)(F)*mu" "mu=4/5" "color(brown)Ff=Fμ μ=45
color(brown)(F_f)=color(red)(F)*4/5Ff=F45
color(brown)(F_f) >=color(green)(G)FfG
"Object is not slides;"Object is not slides;
"if the friction force is equal or greater than weight of object"if the friction force is equal or greater than weight of object
4/5*F_f>=mg45Ffmg
4/5*F>=4*9,8145F49,81
4/5*F>=39,2445F39,24
F>=(5*39,24)/4F539,244
F>=49,05" "NF49,05 N
