Yes, that many Newtons.

$${\mathtt{45}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}\underset{\,\,\,\,^{\textcolor[rgb]{0.66,0.66,0.66}{360^\circ}}}{{sin}}{\left({\mathtt{35}}^\circ\right)}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{5}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{9.8}} = {\mathtt{74.810\: \!939\: \!635\: \!795}}$$

.

By the way, don't confuse the symbol N for the normal force with the symbol N meaning Newtons!

N (normal force) = 75 N (Newtons)

The force exerted by the block on the ground is F1*sin(35) + m*g  or  45*sin(35°) + 5*9.8 N.

 

From Newton's 3rd law of motion (action and reaction are equal and opposite) this is the normal force exerted on the block.

so it will be 75 upward  right  ?

N (normal force) = 75 N (Newtons)
