3. A 10 kg block sits on a frictionless horizontal surface. A constant force of 35 N is exerted on the block at an angle of 26.0° as shown and the block moves to the right. a) Draw a free body diagram for the block. b) What is the normal force acting on the block?

Step 1
The block is sitting on a frictionless horizontal surface, so there is no friction force acting on it. There are two forces acting on the block: the force of 35 N exerted on the block at an angle of 26.0°, and the normal force exerted by the surface on the Show more…

(Problem 3: A horizontal force, F1 = 55 N, and a force, F2 = 16.3 N acting at an angle of θ to the horizontal, are applied to a block of mass m = 2.6 kg. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is μk = 0.2. The block is moving to the right. Question: Solve numerically for the magnitude of the normal force, FN in Newtons, that acts on the block if θ = 30°. and, Solve numerically for the magnitude of acceleration of the block, a in m/s2, if θ = 30°.

A 1 kg block slides on a rough horizontal surface. A force (P = 15 N) is applied to the block as shown. The magnitude of the block's acceleration is m/s². Using your free body diagram of the block, compare the magnitude of the normal force (n) on the block and the magnitude of the force of gravity on it (Fg = mg).

A block of mass m = 12.72 kg is at rest on a friction-less table. A student comes along and pulls the book with a force 96 N, at an angle 39.9° as shown in the figure. Determine the magnitude of the normal force (in N) acting on the block.
