NEET Physics Newton's Laws MCQ Question
Consider a free-body diagram where a block is placed on a horizontal surface, and a force is applied to the block at an angle above the horizontal. Which of the following forces should be included in the free-body diagram?
The weight of the block acting downwards.
The force of friction acting upwards.
The normal force acting horizontally.
The gravitational force acting horizontally.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In a free-body diagram, forces such as the weight of the block (gravitational force) acting downwards, the normal force acting perpendicular to the surface, and any applied forces should be included. The weight of the block is always acting downwards due to gravity, as described in the NCERT context.
