Answer:
The magnitude of the normal force 123.48 N.
Explanation:
Given that,
Weight of the chair, W = 100 N
Force acting on the chair, F = 42 N directed at an angle of 34.0∘ below the horizontal. We need to find the magnitude of the normal force that the floor exerts on the chair.
The net forces in vertical or y direction is given by :
[tex]N-mg-F\sin\theta=0\\\\N=mg+F\sin\theta\\\\N=100+42\times \sin(34)\\\\N=123.48\ N[/tex]
So, the magnitude of the normal force 123.48 N.
