We are having a physics test on forces and Universal Gravitation and the questions is asking to find the magnitude of friction force/ coefficient of friction and it give you the two number 1.0 and 3N please solve 

To solve for the magnitude of the frictional force or the coefficient of friction, I need to clarify a few details, as the question is a bit unclear.

Typically, in friction problems, the formula used is:

\[
f_{\text{friction}} = \mu \cdot N
\]

Where:
- \( f_{\text{friction}} \) is the frictional force,
- \( \mu \) is the coefficient of friction, and
- \( N \) is the normal force (the force perpendicular to the surface, usually the weight of the object).

### Based on your question, there are two numbers given: 
1. **1.0** (Could be the coefficient of friction \( \mu \)?)
2. **3N** (Could be the frictional force \( f_{\text{friction}} \)?)

If the given values are:
- \( \mu = 1.0 \) (coefficient of friction),
- \( f_{\text{friction}} = 3N \) (frictional force),

Then, you can calculate the normal force \( N \) using the equation:

\[
f_{\text{friction}} = \mu \cdot N
\]

Substituting the values:

\[
3 = 1.0 \cdot N
\]

This gives:

\[
N = 3 \, \text{N}
\]

So the normal force is 3N.

Alternatively, if you are looking for the **coefficient of friction**, the same formula applies, but you'd rearrange it:

\[
\mu = \frac{f_{\text{friction}}}{N}
\]

If you provide the normal force (N), you can calculate the coefficient of friction \( \mu \).

Would you like to clarify the problem further, or is there additional information I can assist with?
