Question

a wagon is being pushed eastward with a force of 80n. the frictional force opposing the motion is 35n west. the wagon experiences a 60n gravitational force pulling downward. the ground counteracts that force with a normal force pushing upward. if the net force acting on the wagon is 45n east, what is the normal force pushing upward on the wagon?

Answer 1

Since the wagon is not moving downwards, therefore the normal force acting on it is opposing the gravitational force equally.
Thus, the normal force is equal to gravitational force equal to 60N
