Answer:
N = 80 N
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a book, m = 8 kg
We need to find the magnitude of the normal force acting on the book. Normal force acting on an object is balanced by its weight such that,
N = mg
g is the acceleration due to gravity
[tex]N=8\ kg\times 10\ m/s^2\\\\N=80\ N[/tex]
So, the correct option is (c) "80 N".
