Question
A box of mass 7.54 kg is being pushed along a frictionless floor by a force of magnitude 14.86 N acting down and to the right at an angle of 68.54 degrees. What is the magnitude of the normal force acting on the box (in N)? Use g = 9.81 m/s^2 (My answer to the question was 102.16 N, multiplication with cosine could’ve been wrong.
