LESSON 1: NORMAL FORCE AND MOTION OF CONNECTED BODIES
Study Tips: The most important document that you should consult in order to prepare successfully for the 2016 PHYSICAL SCIENCES FINAL EXAMINATION is the EXAMINATION GUIDELINES (EG) dated 2014.
DEFINITION of a NORMAL FORCE: A normal force is the force or the component of a force which a surface exerts on an object with which it is in contact, and which is perpendicular to the surface. (EG, NSC (CAPS), page 7)
UNDERSTAND THE NORMAL FORCE:
The normal force is a contact force that a surface exerts on an object in contact with it in order to counter-act its weight, as illustrated below:
Block
The paper is too weak to counter-act the weight of the block
Paper
Fig. 1
The table is strong enough to counter-act the weight of the block. The force it exerts on the block is called the normal force (FN)
Fig. 2
FN (Normal force)
EXAMPLE
Write down an equation that can be used to calculate the magnitude of the normal force (FN) acting on the block in the diagram below. Numerical values are not required.
FN
Study Tip: When a body is in
equilibrium, the algebraic sum of the
upward forces equals the algebraic sum
of the downward forces.
This is the reason why FN = Fg in this
example.
This fact will be exploited to find FN in all
Fg
the examples and activities that follow. Algebraic sum means that the sum is
not a vector sum.
ANSWER: FN = Fg
OR FN = w
OR
FN = mg

1.1 FN = Fg - Fsin
Resolve F into its components. The block is in equilibrium. The algebraic sum of the upward forces = the algebraic sum of the downward forces.
FN + Fsin = Fg FN = Fg - Fsin
1.2 FN = Fg + Fsin
Resolve F into its components. The block is in equilibrium. The algebraic sum of the upward forces = the algebraic sum of the downward forces.
FN = Fg + Fsin
1.3 FN = Fgcos
Resolve Fg into its components. The block is in equilibrium. The algebraic sum of the upward forces = the algebraic sum of the downward forces on the inclined plane.
FN = Fgcos
2. Calculate the magnitude of the normal force (FN) using the derived equations in 1.1, 1.2 and 1,3 of ACTIVITY 1.1, if m = 5 kg, F = 40 N and = 30o.
ANSWERS to ACTIVITY 1.1, question 2.
1.1: 29 N
1.2: 69 N
1.3: 42,43 N or 42,44 N
ACTIVITY 1.2
Application of FN, the normal force, to the motion of connected bodies:
You already know that frictional forces oppose motion of objects. In Grade 11 you learnt about static and kinetic friction.
The normal force FN is used in the equation to determine both static and kinetic friction.
NOTES: Instead of FN, N is used in the formula for static and kinetic friction. N is the preferred symbol and FN is the alternative symbol for normal force. Refer to page 25 of the EG.

Content and Study Tips
Static friction
When static friction is a maximum Fs = ?sN
Where:
Fs is the static frictional force ?s is the co-efficient of static friction N is the normal force
Kinetic friction
When kinetic friction is a maximum Fk = ?kN
Where:
Fk is the kinetic frictional force ?k is the co-efficient of kinetic friction N is the normal force
In the following examples, we apply static and kinetic frictional forces using some of the normal forces derived in ACTIVITY 1.1.
EXAMPLES
1.1 A force of 10 N acts on a block at an angle of 30o to the horizontal and the block does not move. The co-efficient of static friction between the block and the surface is 0,1. Calculate the mass of the block.
10 N 30o
ANSWER Study Tips: You must know how to obtain the mass of the block from the given data before you can solve the problem. Follow the steps below in a problem solving strategy:
PROBLEM SOLVING STRATEGY: Find FN in terms of m using the upward and downward forces acting on the block. Then use the horizontal forces acting on the block to find the mass.
STEP 1:
Understand the question and the context: The block is in equilibrium. This means: (1) The algebraic sum of the upward forces equals the algebraic sum of the downward forces. (2) The algebraic sum of the horizontal forces pulling the block to the right equals the algebraic sum of the horizontal forces pulling the block to the left.
STEP 2:
Draw a diagram to show all the forces acting vertically and horizontally on the block.
Study Tips: What is a free body diagram? It is a diagram which is used to show all the forces that are acting on a body. The body is shown as a dot.

NOTES: In a free body diagram and a force diagram, the components of forces are not shown.

Study Tips: The components of F are not shown in a free body diagram or a force diagram. The diagram drawn in STEP 2 is not a force diagram or a free body diagram. Study Tips: The forces shown in the free body- and force diagrams above are vectors. Vectors are shown as arrows. The head of an arrow shows its direction and its length its relative magnitude. The tails of each arrow touch the dot or the block.
Study Tips: N in ?sN is another way of writing FN. They have the same meaning.
Study Tips: 1. If you do not put in the arrow heads you will lose the marks for each force. 2. If you do not label each force you will lose the mark for the forces. 3. If you have additional forces that should not be included one mark is deducted per additional force.
STEP 3: STEP 3:
Write down equations for the vertical and horizontal forces acting on the block, substitute the numerical values into them, and simplify:
Vertical forces: FN = Fg ? Fsin30o = m(9,8) ? (10)(0,5) = 9,8m ? 5 ... (1)
Horizontal forces: Fs = sN = Fcos30o
... (2)
Substitute FN = 9,8 ? 5 into (2): (0,1)(9,8m ? 5) = (10)(0,866) = 8,66 ... (3)
Now use equation (3) to calculate the mass m:
(0,1)(9,8m ? 5) = (10)(0,866) = 8,66
both sides by 0,1: 9,8m ? 5 = 86,6
EXAMPLES
m = 91,6 = 9,35 kg 9,8
2 kg A
1.2 A block of mass 2 kg is released at point A at the top of an inclined plane and it travels to point B at the bottom. The length of AB is 5 m. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the surface of the block and the inclined plane is 0,05, calculate the velocity of the block when it reached B.
30o B
Study Tips: Follow a similar procedure as in Example 1.1. HINT: Use the Work-Energy Theorem.

ACTIVITY 1.4
Application of the normal force FN in the lift problem
There are two cases:
FN
Case 1
Case 2 FN
Fg
Fg
In both cases the object experiences a normal force FN that acts on it. Case 1 is the same as the example on page 3. In case 2, the bathroom scale registers a reading that is a reaction force to the weight of the object. According to Newton's 3rd Law, this reaction force has the same magnitude as the weight but is opposite in direction. This means the reaction force is FN.
Case 1: An object is in direct contact with a lift floor
Case 2: An object is placed on a bathroom scale that is in direct contact with a lift floor
NOTES: The object can be a person standing in a lift. In ACTIVITY 1.4 we will use case 1 to derive the various equations. For case 2, the equations will be the same. FRes and Fnet have the same meaning. We apply Newton's 2nd Law viz. FRes = ma where applicable.
Study Tips: If you accelerate upwards in a lift you feel heavier. If you accelerate downwards you feel lighter. If the lift cable breaks you will feel weightless.
Case 1.1: Lift is stationary. FN = Fg
(Algebraic sum of upward forces equals algebraic sum of downward forces.)
Case 1.2: Lift moves upwards at constant velocity.
FN = Fg Proof: FRes = FN ? Fg = ma But a = 0 because v is constant. Thus FN ? Fg = 0 FN = Fg
Case 1.3: Lift moves upwards at constant acceleration.
FN = ma + Fg Proof: FRes = ma. FN > Fg
FN ? Fg = ma FN = ma + Fg
Case 1.4: Lift moves downwards at constant velocity.
FN = Fg Proof: FRes = Fg ? FN = ma But a = 0 because v is constant.
Thus Fg ? FN = 0 Fg = FN
Case 1.5: Lift moves downwards at constant acceleration.
FN = Fg - ma Proof: FRes = ma. Fg > FN
Fg ? FN = ma FN = Fg - ma
Case 1.6 Lift slows down as it moves downwards.
FN = Fg + ma Proof: FRes = ma, Fg > FN, a Fg a < 0
FN ? Fg = m(-a) FN = Fg - ma
Case 1.8: Lift is free falling FN = 0 N
Proof: FRes = Fg = mg Lift and object are in free fall. Lift floor does not exert an upward force on the object.
FN = 0 N
