A nurse applies a horizontal force of 147 N on a bed that has a mass of 152 kg, The magnitude of the normal force acting on the bed is

.967 N

5.00 N

1440 N

1490 N

1490 N

Explanation:

The force applied by the nurse is horizontal, so there's no vertical component.

Therefore, the normal force is simply equal to the weight of the bed.

N = mg

N = (152 kg) (9.8 m/s²)

N = 1490 N
