Answer

(a) please refer to the free-body diagram (b) The normal force that the floor exerts on the chair is 142 N.

Work Step by Step

(a) please refer to the free-body diagram (b) $F_N = F~sin(\theta)+ mg$ $F_N = (40.0~N)~sin(37.0^{\circ})+(12.0~kg)(9.80~m/s^2)$ $F_N = 142~N$ The normal force that the floor exerts on the chair is 142 N.
