Determine the normal force acting on a 250-gram apple, at rest on a table. Include an FBD.

Answer :

The normal force on the apple on the bed is 2.45 N.

Normal force

The normal force on an object is the upward force on an object due to the weight of the object.

[tex]F_n = mg\\\\[/tex]

where;

  • m is mass = 250 g = 0.25 kg
  • g is the acceleration due to due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

[tex]F_n = mg\\\\F_n = 0.25 \times 9.8\\\\F_n = 2.45 \ N[/tex]

Thus, the normal force on the apple on the bed is 2.45 N.
