- A student is pulling a crate with a mass of 66.6 kg along a horizontal frictionless floor with a rope that’s inclined at an angle θ = 30.0° above the horizontal as shown. The tension force is measured to be 239 N. What is the magnitude of the normal force on the crate from the floor, in Newtons? Use g = 10.0 m/s2. Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive.
