Question

A box is at rest on a table what can you say about the forces acting on the box

Answer 1

Answer:

The upward Normal force and the downward Gravitational force are balanced.

Explanation:

When a box is kept at rest on table, the net force on the box is zero i.e. all the forces are balanced.

Gravitational force that is the weight of the box acts in the downward direction. The reaction force that is the normal force acts in the upward direction. These two forces balance each other.

Thus, the upward Normal force and the downward Gravitational force are balanced.
