Question

In most of the problems you have dealt with so far, weight is equal in magnitude to that of the normal force. Is it possible for the normal force not to be equal to weight? Explain your answer. Yes, it is possible. Oftentimes, normal force counteracts the weight, thus making them equal. This happens when the object is situated on a horizontal surface and the force is exerted on the direction of the gravitational field. Otherwise, as in the case of an elevator accelerating downwards, N and W will not equalize. Yes, it is possible. Oftentimes, normal force counteracts the weight, thus making them equal. This happens when the object is situated on a vertical surface and the force is exerted on the direction of the gravitational field. Otherwise, as in the case of an elevator accelerating downwards, N and W will not equalize. No, it is not possible. Oftentimes, normal force counteracts the weight, thus making them equal.
