What is the normal force between a 5 kg puppet and the floor if the puppet is attached to a string that applies 30 N of force upward? ? If there are 5 strings attached to the puppet, what is the force in each string?

Answer 1

a. Fn = M*g - Fap = 5*9.8 - 30 = 19 N. = Normal force.

b. F = 30N./5 = 6N.
