what is an expression for normal force of an object at rest in terms of acceleration, mass, and acceleration of gravity
Added by Johnathan B.
Step 1
Since the object is at rest, the forces acting on it must be balanced. The two primary forces in this scenario are the normal force (N) acting upward and the force of gravity (mg) acting downward. Show more…

Make these simple one-step calculations and familiarize yourself with the equations that link the concepts of force, mass, and acceleration. Weight = $m g$ In this chapter we learn that the cause of acceleration is given by Newton's second law: $a=\frac{F_{\text { net }}}{m} .$ Show that the acceleration in the preceding problem results from a net force of 15 N exerted on a 3.0 -kg cart.
The force of an object is equal to its mass times the acceleration, or $F=m a.$ a. Solve $F=m a$ for $m.$ b. The force on an object is $24.5 \mathrm{N}$ (newtons), and the acceleration is $9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{sec}^{2}$. Find the mass of the object (the answer will be in kilograms).

A cardboard box rests on the floor of an elevator. The box has a mass of m = 1.75 kg and the elevator has an upward acceleration of a. Part (c) Write an expression for the normal force, F_N, that the block experiences in terms of the elevator's acceleration, the block's mass, and the acceleration of gravity.
