Question

A wooden block of weight 50 N is placed on a table. The force exerted by the surface of the table on the block will be __________ .
(A) zero
(B) 25 N
(C) 50 N
(D) 100 N

Answer 1

Given, weight = 50N


Weight = mg

Hence, weight = force exerted by the block on the table.

=> Block exerts 50 N on table.


Again, recall Newton's third law :-


For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

=> If block will exert 50 N on table, the table will also exert an equal and opposite force on the block

=> Your answer is 50 Newton
option C


Hope it helps dear friend

Answer 2

Here is your solution

(c)50 N is correct answer.

Note:-

Actually here is theory of newton 3rd law .

Hence

if 50 N  exert force on table  equal to opposite   force table  block.

Hope it helps you
