Consider pushing a block of iron that is in the ground toward the front.
The pushing force will need to overcome the friction on the ground.
The normal force, denoted by the letter N, is the force pushing perpendicular to the surface of the iron block. The normal force isn’t necessarily equal to the force due to gravity; it’s the force perpendicular to the surface an object is sliding on. In other words, the normal force is the force pushing the two surfaces together, and the stronger the normal force, the stronger the force due to friction.
