Question

The normal force acting on block in the situation shown is N. if all the surfaces are smooth then the value of N is

Answer 1

Answer:n=mg

Explanation:In a simple case such as an object resting upon a table, the normal force on the object is equal but in opposite direction to the gravitational force applied on the object (or the weight of the object), that is, {\displaystyle N=mg} N=mg, where m is mass, and g is the gravitational field strength (about 9.81 m/s2 on Earth). The normal force here represents the force applied by the table against the object that prevents it from sinking through the table and requires that the table is sturdy enough to deliver this normal force without breaking.
