$A$ steel block of $10\, \text{kg}$ rests on a horizontal floor. When three iron cylinders,each of mass $20\, \text{kg}$,are placed on it as shown,the entire system (block + cylinders) moves downward with an acceleration of $0.2\, \text{m/s}^2$. The normal reaction $R$ exerted by the floor is ..... $\text{N}$. [Take $g = 10\, \text{m/s}^2$]
