Answer

$N=7.36N$, $v=1.63m/s$

Work Step by Step

We can determine the required normal force and speed as follows: $K_s=m\frac{mv^2}{\rho}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $200(0.1)=0.75\frac{v^2}{0.1}$ This simplifies to: $v=1.63m/s$ As $\Sigma F_b=0$ $\implies N_b=mg=0.75\times 9.81=7.36N$ Now $N=\sqrt{N^2_b+N^2_t}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $N=\sqrt{(7.36)^2+(0)^2}$ $\implies N=7.36N$
