Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution


I don't think the normal force depends on mass so I wouldn't know how to rank I mean the normal force on the middle bottom and left bottom is the same so how can I rank?( i mean the force from box to wall = -force from wall to box so why would it depend on the mass)
