Question

A 244.0 N block is at rest on a flat, frictionless table. A hooked cable applies an upward force of 24.0 N on the block. What is the normal force acting on the block?

Answer 1

268N

Step-by-step explanation:

The upward force acting on the block are the reaction and the hooked table..

The total normal force acting = normal reaction + 24N

Note that the normal reaction is always equal the weight of the table

Hence the normal force acting in the block is 244.0+24 = 268.0N
