The net force on the block acting perpendicular to the incline is
∑ <em>F</em> = <em>n</em> - <em>w</em> cos(29.4°) = 0
where <em>n</em> is the magnitude of the normal force and <em>w</em> = <em>m g</em> is the weight of the block.
The equation itself comes from splitting up the forces acting on the block into components pointing parallel or perpendicular to the incline. The only forces acting on the block in the perpendicular direction are the normal force and the perpendicular component of the block's weight.
Solve for <em>n</em> :
<em>n</em> = <em>m g</em> cos(29.4°)
<em>n</em> = (6 kg) (9.80 m/s²) cos(29.4°)
<em>n</em> ≈ 51.2 N

Answer;</u></h3>
B) Not Balanced
B) Sodium
B) Not Equal
The equation is <em><u>not balanced</u></em> because the number of <em><u>sodium atoms</u></em> is <em><u>not equal</u></em> on both sides of the arrow.
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- <em><u>According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of reactants should always be the same as the mass of the products in a chemical equation.</u></em> Therefore, the number of atoms of each element in a chemical equation should always be the same on both sides of the equation, that is the side of reactants and side of products.
- Therefore,<u><em>any chemical equation requires balancing to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is equal in both sides of the equation</em></u>. Balancing is a try and error process that ensures that the law of conservation of mass holds.
- Thus, the balanced chemical equation is;
2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl
45 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = <u>441 N.</u>
