Homework Statement



the pic is in the attachment. and i am supposed to find the normal force. the object is in equilibrium.

The Attempt at a Solution



i tried to separate the Fg into its components but the angle is unknown. i can't seem to use any other method. force of friction is unknown and so is the coefficient.
