Question
- name the missing force... a) frictional force b) tension force c) normal force d) applied force
The normal force is the force exerted by a surface that is perpendicular to the surface. In the free - body diagram of an object on an inclined plane, the normal force acts perpendicular to the surface of the inclined plane. Here, the missing force is perpendicular to the surface of the inclined plane on which the object rests. Frictional force acts parallel to the surface, tension force is related to ropes or strings, and applied force is an external push or pull. The normal force is the one that balances the component of the gravitational force perpendicular to the surface.
