Question

Your classmate’s mass is 63 kg and the table weighs 500 N. Calculate the normal force on the table by the floor. Show your work!

Answer 1

Answer:

$F_N=1234.8N$

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the normal force is opposite to the total present weight, we can compute it by considering the mass of the classmate with the gravity to compute its weight, and the weight of the table:

$F_N=63kg*9.8m/s^2+500N\\\\F_N=617.4N+500N\\\\F_N=1234.8N$

Best regards.
