Key point
- Perpendicular to the body exerting the force
The Normal Reaction occurs when a body is in contact with another body.
- The normal reaction force is acting perpendicular to the two surfaces in contact
- It’s a measure of the force that is holding both objects together
- Notice how the table is bending downwards (microscopic level) – creating tension
