The normal force acting on the object is 500 N in the upward direction
<u>Explanation:</u>
As George is applying a downward force, the normal force will be in the upward direction. The normal force will be exerted due to the acceleration due to gravity exerted on the object.
So, as per Newton's second law, the normal force acting on the object can be measured by the product of mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity acting on the object.
But as the acceleration due to gravity is a downward acting acceleration and the normal force is a upward acting force, so the acceleration will be having a negative sign in the formula.

Here, acceleration due to gravity g = -10 m/s² and mass is given as 50 kg, then
Normal force = 50 × (-10) = -500 N
So, the normal force acting on the object is 500 N in the upward direction.
Answer:
L = 2.8 cm
Explanation:
Period T = 4 / 12 = 1/3 s
T = 2π√(L/g)
L = (T/2π)²g
L = ((1/3)/2π)²9.8 = 0.02758... ≈ 2.8 cm
Answer:

Explanation:
Time to mow 1 lawn by Wilma is 80 minutes
so work done in 1 minute by Wilma is given as
Similarly Rocky mow same lawn in 120 minute
so work done in 1 minute by Rocky is given as

now we know that they both worked by "t" time
so total work performed by them

they both mow 2 lawns then it is given as
