Physics: Vector Components: Normal Force

A block of mass m = 2.0 kg is held in equilibrium on an incline of angle I = 60° by the horizontal force F, as shown in Figure 4.20.

(a) Determine the value of F
(b) Determine the normal force exerted by the incline on the block (ignore friction).

“So he was driving from McDonalds during lunch (½) hour and got in his car with his HiC® on top of the car. He proceeded to get in his car and drive. All his friends waved frantically in an effort to warn him of impending doom as his windows were open. In an effort to better understand his friend’s plea, the driver of the car stopped. In fact, he stopped suddenly enough to spill the red sticky liquid all over the outside of his car (luckily red) and the inside of his car (unluckily gray).”

“This is an electric spark timer. If you touch the airtrack, the timer may discharge through you. Some people enjoy this sensation and challenge the timer for more, shouting ‘is that all you got’ or ‘bring it on’, but discharging this many volts through one’s body is not recommended.”

“If drugs were legal, what would rappers rap about?”
