Question

As a 600 N woman sits on the floor, the floor exerts a force on her ofa. 6 Nb. 60 NC. 1200 Nd. 600 N

Answer 1

the floor exerts a force of 600 N on her

Step-by-step explanation

Newton's third law states that when two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction,in this case the wowan exerts a force on the floor, it is her weigth, in the other hand, the floor exerts a force on the woman,this is called Normal force, the normal force is the force that surfaces exert to prevent solid objects from passing through each other. Normal force is a contact force.

Step 1

a) diagram:

as the woman is at equilibrium , the sum of the forces acting on it equals, zero, hence

`\begin{gathered} Normal\text{ force-weigth= 0} \\ Normal\text{ force = weigth} \\ Normal\text{ force=600 N} \end{gathered}`

therefore, the floor exerts a force of 600 N on her

so, the answer is

d) 600 N
