The normal reaction between the television and the table is N = 12 × 9.8 m/s² = 117.6 Newtons
But the static coefficient of friction is μ = 0.83
When the television is about to slide on the table, the applied force should overcome the force due to static friction; Thus; the applied force should be at least F = μN = 0.83 × 117.6 N = 97.608 Newtons Therefore; the minimum applied force will be 97.6 Newtons.
