N = 52.0 N
Explanation:
Given: [tex]F_a= 20.0\:\text{N}=\:\text{applied\:force}[/tex]
[tex]m=6.00\:\text{kg}[/tex]
[tex]N = \text{normal force}[/tex]
The net force [tex]F_{net}[/tex] is given by
[tex]F_{net} = N + F_a\sin 20 - mg=0[/tex]
Solving for N, we get
[tex]N = mg - F_a\sin 20[/tex]
[tex]\:\:\:\:\:\:= (6.00\:\text{kg})(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2) - (20.0\:\text{N}\sin 20)[/tex]
[tex]\:\:\:\:\:\:= 52.0\:\text{N}[/tex]
