The normal force is the force exerted by a surface on an object in contact with it. It's always perpendicular to the surface. Here's how to find it:
Understanding the Concept: The <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Normal%20Force">normal force</a> is a contact force that prevents an object from passing through a surface. It's a reaction force in accordance with Newton's Third Law.
Free Body Diagram (FBD): Draw a <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Free%20Body%20Diagram">free body diagram</a> of the object. Include all forces acting on the object, such as gravity (weight), applied forces, friction (if applicable), and, of course, the normal force.
Identify Relevant Axis: The normal force is usually (but not always) along the y-axis (vertical). Choose an appropriate coordinate system.
Apply Newton's Second Law: Apply <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Newton's%20Second%20Law">Newton's Second Law</a> (ΣF = ma) along the axis perpendicular to the surface. This usually means ΣFy = may.
Solve for Normal Force:
mg - Fa_up > 0
, because otherwise the object would be accelerating upward and no longer in contact with the surface.Units: The normal force is measured in <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Newtons">Newtons</a> (N).
