I saw this problem somewhere:
A 25 kg block is pushed accross a frictionless horizontal surface with a force of 20N, 20 degrees below the horizontal.
The Magnitude of the Normal Force of the block is:
a) 6.8N
b) 42N
c) 49N
d) 56N
e) 68N
I suck in Physics! I ended up with a huge answer.
I think that the answer might be (a), because 20sin20 = 6.84....
I am not sure if that's the right answer though. Me and some colleagues are debating whether the right answer was not included among the given choices.
