Calculate the normal force acting on an object resting on a surface. On a horizontal surface with no other vertical forces, the normal force equals the weight of the object (N = mg).
Enter your values below
Mass of the object on the surface
Additional vertical force (positive = downward)
How this calculator works
Normal force equals mass times gravitational acceleration on a horizontal surface with no other vertical forces.
