what forces are acting on the empty can?​

Answer 1

Answer:

gravitational force

mark me brain list

Answer 2

Balanced forces are acting on the empty can that are equal and opposite in nature. The forces are gravitational force and the normal reaction force.

Explanation

BALANCED FORCES -

• An empty can at rest is due to the presence of balanced forces.
• Balanced forces are the set of forces that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
• The balanced force causes zero acceleration in the object.
• The gravitational force or the weight of the body act in the downward direction pulling the object towards the earth.
• The normal reaction force by the surface acts in the upward direction balancing the gravitational force.

                                Gravitational force = Normal reaction force

• This equilibrium causes the empty can to remain in the stationary position.
