1) The document discusses calculating the normal force (N) on an object with a mass (m) of 4kg that is at an angle (θ) from the horizontal. It determines that the normal force is equal to N = mgcosθ, or 40 Newtons in this case. 2) It then considers calculating the tensions (T1 and T2) in two ropes attached at angles, determining that T2 = T1√3. Using the forces in the y-direction, it calculates the individual tensions as T1 = 40N and T2 = 40√3 N.
