    554.265 N

    Explanation:

    Without moving it means it is static. Since we know that normal friction is given by N=mg where m is the mass and g is acceleration due to gravity.

    The static friction will then be given by multiplying the normal reaction by the coefficient of static friction. Taking g as 9.81, m as 113 kg and 0.5 for coefficient of static friction then

    Fs = 0.5*113*9.81=554.265 N
