Question

A 22.3 N crate is resting on the floor.

What is the size of the normal force acting on the crate?

Answer 1

weight of the crate is given as W = 22.3 N

now as per force balance condition

Net weight of the object is counter balanced by normal force on the object by the surface

so here we will have

`W = F_n`

`F_n = 22.3 N`

So the normal force acting on the object will be same as as the weight of the object which is 22.3 N
