a 2.00 kg block is pulled across a flat, frictionless floor with a 4.17 N force directed 40.0 degrees above horizontal. What is the normal force acting on the block?
If 'normal' force means the horizontal vector that would be the force times the cosine of 40°
'normal' ususally means perpindicular to the surface the object is on.....just an FYI G'Day !
