I'm not sure about the magnitude, but the direction of the normal force is upward.

Magnitude : 25 N

Direction: upward

Explanation:

The weight of the book is 25 N and is directed downward: this is the force exerted by the book on the table.

As stated in Newton's third law, for every object A that exerts a force on an object B, object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A.

In this case, object A is the book and object B is the table. Based on Newton's third law, we can say that the table exerts an equal and opposite force on the book: therefore, the magnitude of the normal force is equal to the weight of the book (25 N), while the direction is opposite (so, upward).

The mass of a hot-air balloon and its cargo (not including the air inside) is 170 kg. The air outside is at 10.0°C and 101 kPa.

Answer:

108.37°C

Explanation:

P₁ = Initial pressure = 101 kPa

V₁ = Initial volume = 530 m³

T₁ = Initial temperature = 10°C = 10+273.15 =283.15 K

P₂ = Final pressure = 101 kPa (because it is open to atmosphere)

V₂ = Final volume = 530 m³

P₁V₁ = n₁RT₁

⇒101×530 = n₁RT₁

⇒53530 J = n₁RT₁

P₂V₂ = n₂RT₂

⇒53530 J = n₂RT₂

$\frac{m_1}{m_2}=\frac{\rho V_1}{\rho V_1-170}\\\Rightarrow \frac{m_1}{m_2}=\frac{1.244\times 530}{1.244\times 530-170}=1.347\\\Rightarrow \frac{m_1}{m_2}=1.347\\\Rightarrow \frac{n_1}{n_2}=1.347$
