Answer:
The normal force the ground exerts on the block, F = -300 N
Explanation:
Given data,
The block pulled up with a tension force, T = 100 N
The weight of the block, W = 300 N
The weight of the block is due to the force of attraction of gravitation.
The surface exerts a force that is equal and opposite to the force acting on the block due to gravitation.
The weight of the block,
W = mg
300 N
The normal force the ground exerts on the block,
F = - mg
= - 300 N
Hence, the normal force the ground exerts on the block, F = -300 N
