The possible magnitude for the force of static friction on the stationary cart is 72.1 N.

The given parameters:

<em>Applied force on the cart, F = 72.1 N</em>

<em />

Based on Newton's second law of motion, the force applied to object is directly proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of the object.

F = ma

Static frictional force is the force resisting the motion of an object at rest.

$\Sigma F = 0\\\\F -F_f = 0$

where;

$F_f$ is the frictional force

$F= F_f \\\\72.1 = F_f\\\\F_f = 72.1\ N$

Thus, the possible magnitude for the force of static friction on the stationary cart is 72.1 N.
