Question

A nurse applies a horizontal force of 147 N on a bed that has a mass of 152 kg,The magnitude of the normal force acting on the bed is
.967 N
5.00 N
1440 N
1490 N

Answer 1

Answer:

1490 N

Explanation:

The force applied by the nurse is horizontal, so there's no vertical component.

Therefore, the normal force is simply equal to the weight of the bed.

N = mg

N = (152 kg) (9.8 m/s²)

N = 1490 N

Answer 2

Answer:

1490 N
