Answer:
a. expression for force of gravity is mg
b. Value of force of gravity is 58.86 N
c. Direction of force of gravity is downwards
d. Value of normal force is -58.86 N
e. direction of normal force is upwards.
Explanation:
Given that mass of the block [tex]m=6 kg[/tex]
acceleration due to gravity [tex]g=9.81 m/s^2[/tex]
a. Expression for force of gravity is [tex]F_g=m\times g[/tex]
b. [tex]F_g=mg=6 \times 9.81=58.86 N[/tex]
force of gravity is [tex]58.86 N[/tex]
c. Force of gravity always acts in the downward direction.
d. Normal force[tex]F_N[/tex] acts in the direction opposite to the weight of the block and their magnitudes are same. since the object is at rest the upward and downward forces on the block are balanced.
[tex]F_N=-F_g=-58.86 N[/tex]
e. Normal force [tex]F_N[/tex]acts in the upwards.
