Unconventional notation, but I'll call this one over Into a component that is perpendicular to theĬomponent that is parallel to the surface of this ramp. Let's see if we canīreak this force vector, the force due to gravity, What are potentially the nettingįorces, or balancing forces, over here? So let's see if we can do that. Those to figure out what's likely to happen. Perpendicular to the surface or that are parallel Well, the one thing we can do,Īnd frankly, that we should do, is maybe we canīreak up this force, the force due to gravity. Little bit differently than we do if this was sitting Not perpendicular to the force of gravity. The normal force acts perpendicular to a surface. That normal force is acting directly against this Little bit confusing, because you can't really say And it's going toīe downwards, we know that, or at least towards Gravitational field near the surface of the Earth. The center of the earth towards this mass. Mass towards the center of the Earth, and vice versa, Of the Earth- and we'll assume that it isįor the sake of this video- that there will be theįorce of gravity trying to bring or attract this Is if this whole set up is near the surface Or not keep it in place and all of the rest. The different forces that might keep it in place And it's sitting on this- youĬould view this is an inclined plane, or a ramp, or This friction force not in line with the center of gravity of the box produces a torque causing the edge of the box away from the direction of the friction force to put a bit more pressure on the incline that the other.īut regardless of the amount of pressure at each point along the the surface of contact the force without friction is always perpendicular to the surface and is the normal force.īlock has a mass of m. Once you introduce friction you have gravity and the normal force essentially acting like it is all at the center of gravity of the box but the friction force is along the surface of contact between the box and the incline. On a frictionless incline the force is the same along the entire surface of the box so there is no portion that pushes harder into the ground than another. With an incline that is frictionless and you have a block on it the block's weight is directed strait down but the normal force is perpendicular to the incline so when you add the force vectors you end up with a net force parallel to the incline pointing down and this is what causes the block to slide down the incline. So the force is broken up into a Normal Force and a Friction Force.
