Kindly explain this question to me, a horizontal force of 10N is necessary to just hold a block stationary against a wall . The coefficient of friction between the block and the wall is 0.2. The weight of the block is? my doubt is why cant i equate 10N =umg?

Imagine a 3D figure of the cube attached with the wall. Here, direction of the following forces are-mg=-jFriction = jHorizontal force = -kSo here, uN = mg, where N=10 newton
