Hello, here we have to calculate the normal force in several different conditions.
00:07
So in the first one, the block which has a mass of 17 .7 kilograms simply stays on the level surface.
00:19
It means that the gravity, which acts downwards, is balanced by the normal force and then the normal force in this case is a product of mass and gravity.
00:37
Let's calculate it.
00:45
That is 174 newton's 173 newton to be precise.
00:56
So now let's move on to question b.
01:03
In question b, the block is resting on the surface which is tilted at angle of 25 .80 degree with respect to the horizontal.
01:40
And therefore, here, if we introduce y -axis perpendicular to the incline, which is a can see that normal reaction is mg times cosine alpha...
