How can you tell which force diagrams have a strong normal force and which ones have a weak normal force?

It is not clear what standard you are using do define "strong" and "weak" normal forces.

The length of the normal force vector acting upon a surface, along with a scale fctor, indicates its strength. If not, the value of the normal force should be labeled.

well I have 3 diagrams and I'm supposed to rank them in order of strongest normal force to weakest normal force, so I'm just not sure how to tell which is the strongest.
Answered by JB
please help me if you can. I have no values, just diagrams.

the first diagram:
a box is attached to a rope and pulled along a floor with the rope parallel to the floor.

The second diagram:
a box is attached to a rope and pulled along a floor with the rope at an angle (upwards) to the floor.

The third diagram:
a box is attached to a broom handle and pushed along a floor with the broom handle at an angle (upwards) to the floor.

Thanks for your help.
