    Help Needed: Finding Normal Strength on an Object

    Okay, let's see. The object only moves horizontally, so if I add all the forces on Y, it should be 0. So gravitationnal force + normal force (Y) should = 0. Fg = 0,558 kg * 9,8 = 5,47 N + 5,47Sin(85) = 0 so, N = -5,47Sin(85) That means the total forces on the object is equal to...

    Help Needed: Finding Normal Strength on an Object

    the surface is not flat, sorry i forgot to mention that. It's on 5 degrees ~slope~, and it's "slipping" on it. The question says to ignore the friction, so no other forces beside the normal and gravitationnal one... ;)
