I could be totally wrong but I believe you must take into account the forces on the object in the vertical direction.

In this case, the object is being pulled by a rope with a tension of 120 N.

The vertical force would therefore be 120 sin(30)

Normally W = [F normal] with no vertical force. However, since there is a vertical force:

W = [F normal] + [120 sin (30)]

(25 kg X 9.8 m/s2) = [F normal] + [120 sin (30)]

245 N - 60 N = [F normal]

185 N = [F normal]

I apologize if this is incorrect as I haven't been in a physics class in over 4 years. Good luck!

If light hits a smooth hard surface at a 35 degree angle at what angle will it reflect of the surface?

By convention angles are measured from the normal to the reflecting surface. The angle of incidence, 35 degrees, is equal to the angle of reflection. In this case 35 degrees. The answer is 35 degrees.


What will the angle of reflection be when the angle of incidence is 80 degress?

80 degrees - on the other side of the normal (perpendicular) to the reflecting surface.


What is a surface normal?

There is no such expression. The normal to a surface, at a given point is the radius of curvature of the surface, at that point.


What will be the angle of reflection if a ray of light is incident towards a plane mirror at an angle of 45 degrees with the mirror surface?

The law of reflection: When a ray of light reflects off a mirror, the angle of the incidence ray is equal to the angle of the reflection ray. Therefore, an incidence ray of 45 degrees will have a reflection ray of 45 degrees. As both rays are equal, either side of the normal line, then adding both angles equals 45 + 45 = 90 degrees. The normal line is a line perpendicular to the surface of the mirror.


Light beam hitting the mirror at 75 degrees what angle would it reflect?

When a light beam hits a mirror, it reflects at an angle equal to the angle of incidence, according to the law of reflection. If the light beam hits the mirror at 75 degrees relative to the normal (the line perpendicular to the surface), it will reflect at an angle of 75 degrees on the opposite side of the normal. Thus, the angle of reflection is also 75 degrees.

Can a frictionless surface exert normal force?

No, a frictionless surface cannot exert a normal force because the normal force is a force exerted perpendicular to the contact surface and is necessary to counteract the force of gravity or any other downward force. Without friction, there is no need for a normal force to counteract any horizontal force component.


What is the effect of detergent on the surface tension of milk?

Adding detergent to milk decreases its surface tension, causing the milk molecules to spread out more evenly. This disrupts the normal surface tension of the milk, making it easier to break the surface and create bubbles.


What Are the Non-Fundamental Forces?

Normal, Friction, Tension, and Elastic Forces.


What is the difference between shear stress and normal stress?

Shear stress is the force applied parallel to a surface, causing it to slide or deform. Normal stress is the force applied perpendicular to a surface, causing compression or tension.


Which force is responsible for holding a car in a frictionless banked curve?

The Horizontal Component of the normal force.

The line at right angles to a surface?

A line with equal angles from a surface is referred to as being normal


What is the difference between normal stress and shear stress in the context of material deformation?

Normal stress acts perpendicular to the surface of a material, while shear stress acts parallel to the surface. Normal stress causes compression or tension, while shear stress causes sliding or deformation along the surface.


What is the angle of incidence to the normal incidence?

The angle of incidence is the angle between the incident ray and the normal (perpendicular line) to the surface. In normal incidence, the incident ray is perpendicular to the surface, so the angle of incidence is 0 degrees.


A ray of light is incident towards a plane mirror at an angle of 30-degrees with the mirror surfaceWhat will be the angle of reflection?

The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. It will be at 30o to the surface of the mirror (from the opposite edge) ^ This answer is not correct for SURFACE, but is correct for RELATIVE ^


Relationship between high specific heat and surface tension?

When water is heated, that energy can be given to the hydrogen bonds, keeping the water cool. So, water has a high specific heat because it takes a lot of energy to heat it up. Surface tension is a result of hydrogen bonds holding the surface molecules together tightly. So the relationship between water's high specific heat and surface tension is that hydrogen bonds are responsible for both of them. If hydrogen didn't have these bonds, water's specific heat would be normal, and its surface tension negligable.


Why won't a full glass of water spill if we put paper clips in it?

The surface tension of water allows it to resist spillage when objects like paper clips are placed on its surface. The paper clips increase the water's surface tension by disrupting the normal bonding of water molecules, creating a barrier that helps prevent spillage.
