Solution
Given: The limb of the tree exerts a normal force of 48 N and a frictional force of 20 N.
So, resultant magnitude of the force if given by
\[R = \sqrt{\left( {48}^2 + {20}^2 \right)}\]
\[ = \sqrt{2304 + 400}\]
\[ = \sqrt{2704} = 52 N\]
∴ The magnitude of the total force exerted by the limb on the monkey is 52 N.
