For the contact force we will have to calculate the resultant of the Frictional force as well as the Normal force.
The Frictional Force would be = μ m g cos θ
= 0 . 5 × 2 × 1 0 × 2 3
= 5 3
The Normal force = m g cos θ
= 2 × 1 0 × 2 3
= 1 0 3
The Resultant = ( 5 3 ) 2 + ( 1 0 3 ) 2
= 3 7 5
Hence, answer = 1 5
