The normal force on the apple on the bed is 2.45 N.
Normal force
The normal force on an object is the upward force on an object due to the weight of the object.
[tex]F_n = mg\\\\[/tex]
where;
- m is mass = 250 g = 0.25 kg
- g is the acceleration due to due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².
[tex]F_n = mg\\\\F_n = 0.25 \times 9.8\\\\F_n = 2.45 \ N[/tex]
Thus, the normal force on the apple on the bed is 2.45 N.
