What type of contact force is perpendicular to the surface of contact?
Normal force is the component perpendicular to the surface in mechanics. It prevents an object from penetrating the surface with the contact force exerted.
The force exerted on a surface divided by the area over which the force is exerted?
Pressure is the force exerted on an object divided by the area where the pressure was applied.
What is meant by the phrase normal to the surface?

What type of contact force is perpendicular to the surface of contact?
Normal force is the component perpendicular to the surface in mechanics. It prevents an object from penetrating the surface with the contact force exerted.
List two properties of the pressure exerted on an object by a fluid?
The pressure increases as the object goes deeper into the fluid; the pressure is always perpendicular to the surface of the object
What is the force exerted on a surface divided by the tota larea over which the force is exerted?

Why must electric field line be perpendicular to equipotential surfaces?
If the field lines were not perpendicular to the surface, then they could be decomposed into components perpendicular and parallel to the surface. But if there is an E-field along the surface, the surface is no longer an equipotential.
