Horizontal Surface (no friction)
FN= mg (Remember FW= mg) This means it is equal in magnitude NOT in direction FN FW
3
On an Incline (no mu, - no friction)
So, FN is perpendicular to the SURFACE of the contact force. FN FN FN Horizontal surface FP F F FP Any force at an angle to a horizontal surface is resolved from FW into two components. 1 parallel to the incline surface (FP) And the other perpendicular to the incline surface (F ). F is opposite FN so FN= FP is not balanced resulting in acceleration. FP=FNET. F F F
4
On an incline place with friction
balances FN; you must also consider FF. FNET is the vector sum of all the forces. = 43 N FF =20 N FNET= (FN FP +- FF) F FNET = = 5 N directed along the incline towards the floor. Remember FP = FNET = 25 N =43 N
