Answer:
50 N.
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Mass (m) = 5 Kg
Coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.36
Normal reaction (N) =?
Next, we shall determine the weight of the body. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass (m) = 5 Kg
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²
Weight (W) =?
W = mg
W = 5 × 10
W = 50 N
Finally, we shall determine the normal reaction. This can be obtained as follow:
Weight (W) = 50 N
Normal reaction (N) =?
Normal reaction = weight of the body
N = W = 50 N
Thus, the normal reaction acting on the body is 50 N
