Question
The figure shows a horizontal force F acting on a block of mass M on an inclined plane (angle θ). What is the normal reaction N on the block?
mg sinθ + F cosθ
mg sinθ Fcosθ
mg cosθ F sinθ
mg cosθ + F sinθ
Solution
D.
mg cosθ + F sinθ
From the figure, the normal reaction on the block is
N = mg cosθ + F sinθ
