Question

When a mass rests on a surface, the surface "pushes up" on the object with a force that is equal in

Answer 1

Answer: 294 N

Explanation:

Since the Normal Force $N$ is equal to the weight $W$ of the dog, we have:

$N=W=m.g$

Where:

$m=30 kg$ is the mass of the dog

$g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth's surface

Solving:

$N=W=(30 kg)(9.8 m/s^{2})$

$N=294 N$
