Force perpendicular is equal to the force component that acts perpendicular to a surface or object. It is calculated by multiplying the force magnitude by the sine of the angle between the force vector and the direction perpendicular to the object.

What is the normal force equal to in a given scenario?

The normal force is equal to the force exerted by a surface to support an object resting on it, acting perpendicular to the surface.


What is the turning effect of a force about a point equal to the magnitude of the force times the perpendicular distance from the point to the line of action from force?

That's the torque due to the force.


Can a force acting perpendicular on a body cancal a force which is acting horizontally on the same body?

Yes, a force acting perpendicular to a horizontal force on a body can cancel out the horizontal force if the two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. This is known as the equilibrium condition, where the net force acting on the body is zero.


What is the perpendicular force exerted by a surface pressing against an object called?

The perpendicular force exerted by a surface pressing against an object is called normal force. This force is perpendicular to the surface and acts in the opposite direction to the force applied by the object.


What is the definition of a normal force?

The normal force is the perpendicular force exerted by a surface to support an object in contact with it. It acts in the direction perpendicular to the surface.


What is force of lift and thrust?

Lift is the force that acts upwards, perpendicular to the chord of the wing. Thrust is the force acting perpendicular to the propeller disc.


When force is perpendicular to the direction of motion is work done?

No. At least not by the force that's perpendicular to the motion. When you push a baby stroller (or a car), you do work, but the force of gravity, downward and perpendicular to the motion, doesn't.


The normal force is the force that a surface exerts when you move an object over it true or false?

True. The normal force is the force exerted by a surface on an object in a direction perpendicular to the surface. It is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force applied by the object on the surface.


What type of contact force is perpendicular to the surface of contact?

Normal force is a type of contact force that is perpendicular to the surface of contact. It is the force that a surface exerts on an object placed on it, acting in a direction perpendicular to the surface.


Why does pressure force acts perpendicular to the body?

If that force is not perpendicular to the surface, then there is a component of the force that's parallel to the surface. That component would move fluid around, until there were no longer any force parallel to the surface ... and the whole force would again be perpendicular to the surface.


Perpendicular force on 200n mass for 6m equals work?

To calculate the work done on the 200N mass when a perpendicular force is applied over 6m, you would multiply the force applied by the distance moved in the direction of the force. In this case, the work done would be 200N * 6m = 1200 joules.


Why is it that no work is done when the force and the displacement are perpendicular to each other?

When a force and displacement are perpendicular to each other, no work is done because the force is not acting in the same direction as the displacement. Work is defined as the product of force and displacement in the direction of the force, so when they are perpendicular, the force does not contribute to the displacement and no work is done.
