What is the value of force measured by a force sensor lying on a plane ground if a block of mass 2 kg is kept on it and a normal upward tensile force of 4 Newton is applied on the block? (Take acceleration due to gravity=10m/s2)

What is the value of force measured by a force sensor lying on a plane ground if a block of mass 2 kg is kept on it and a normal upward tensile force of 4 Newton is applied on the block? (Take acceleration due to gravity=10m/s2) Correct Answer 16 Newton

GiveMass of block=2kg Normal upward force=4 Newton Net force due to block=Force due to mass of block-Normal upward force Force due to mass of block=mass*acceleration (here acceleration due to gravity) Force due to mass of block=2*10=>20N Net force due to block=20N-4N=>16N
