A constant velocity implies the two forces must be equal and opposite.
Friction acts horizontal to the ground, therefore we must find the force applied to the sled rope that acts horizontal to the ground.
Do this by resolving:
Force = 80cos53
The force opposing this is equal, and so also = 80cos53 = 48 N (2 sig. fig.)

Answer:
.409 N
Explanation:
For this to balance, the moments around the fulcrum must sum to zero.
On the left you have .21 ( is that down? I will assume it is)
Counterclockwise moments :
.21 * 40 + 1.0 * 20
Clockwise moments :
.5 * 20 + F * 45
these moments must equal each other
.21*40 + 1 *20 = .5 * 20 + F * 45
F = .409 N
