A block with mass m = 3 kg is sitting on the ground and not moving. The acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.81 m/s2. Please answer the following questions.
Part (a) Write an expression for the magnitude of the force of gravity Fg on the block.
Part (b) Calculate the magnitude of the force of gravity Fg on the block in Newtons.
Part (c) In what direction is the force of gravity in this problem?
Part (d) What is the magnitude of the normal force FN in Newtons?
Part (e) In what direction does the normal force act?
