Question

A wooden box is placed on a table. The normal force on the box from the table is N1. Now another identical box is kept on first box and the normal force on lower block due to upper block is N2 and normal force on lower block by the table is N3.

Solution

The correct option is C N1=N2<N3
R.E.F image
The FBD for the box of mass m when put on the table is,
The normal force N1 is equal to the weight of the box.
N1=mg
The FBD of the first box when an identical box of mass m is placed above it is,
The normal force N2 is equal to the weight of the second box.
N2=mg
The normal force N3 is equal to the combined weight of the boxes.
N3=2mg
Clearly, N1=N2<N3
Hence, option C is correct.
