Answer:

[tex]149.112\ \text{N}[/tex]

[tex]120.94\ \text{N}[/tex]

[tex]302.77\ \text{N}[/tex]

[tex]58.44\ \text{N}[/tex]

Explanation:

m = Mass of block = 15.2 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = [tex]9.81\ \text{m/s}^2[/tex]

[tex]\theta[/tex] = Angle

a = Acceleration

F = Applied force

Normal force is given by

[tex]N=mg\\\Rightarrow N=15.2\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow N=\boldsymbol{149.112\ \mathbf{N}}[/tex]

[tex]\theta=35^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]N=mg\cos\theta\\\Rightarrow N=15.2\times 9.81\times \cos35.8^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow N=\mathbf{120.94\ N}[/tex]

[tex]a=3.53\ \text{m/s}^2[/tex]

[tex]N=m(g+a)\\\Rightarrow N=15.2(9.81+3.53)\\\Rightarrow N=\boldsymbol{302.77\ \mathbf{N}}[/tex]

[tex]F=155\ \text{N}[/tex]

[tex]N=mg-F\sin35.8^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow N=15.2\times 9.81-155\sin35.8^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow N=\boldsymbol{58.44\ \mathbf{N}}[/tex]
