Ask Custom Question

A chair of mass 13.0 kg is sitting on the horizontal floor; the floor is not frictionless. You push on the chair with a force = 38.0 N that is directed at an angle of 43.0 degrees below the horizontal and the chair slides along the floor.

Use Newton's laws to calculate the normal force that the floor exerts on the chair.
