ANSWER
_____________________________

Maximum friction (f) = μ × N
=> f = 10 N × μ

=> f = (10 μ) N

In equilibrium I.e. block is held stationary against wall

f = mg

=> mg = ( 10 μ ) N

=> Weight = ( 10 μ ) N

asharanya7913: how does friction acts in the upward direction and normal acts towards left
BRAINLYY: Friction is always an opposing force which opposes motion Since the block is trying to move down friction acts upwards
BRAINLYY: Normal acts left because a horizontal force is applied towards right
asharanya7913: ya thnx
