The forces on the particle are in equilibrium as the particle is at rest.

The sum of the forces in the normal direction (resolving in the normal direction)

\displaystyle \begin{align} & N-mg\cos {{20}^{\circ }}=0 \\ & \\ & N=mg\cos {{20}^{\circ }}=20\times 9\textrm{.}8\times 0\textrm{.}94=184\ \text{N} \\ \end{align}
