Question

A 50kg block is at rest on the ground.

(a) Draw a diagram of the block and draw in the forces acting on the block (label these forces)
(b) Determine the magnitude and direction of weight of the block and the normal force acting on the block.​

Answer 1

(b) 490 N downwards

Step-by-step explanation:

(b) Formula : w= mg

m is the mass of the object

g is a gravitational constant (9.8)

w= mg

= 50×9.8

= 490 N downwards
