Is it possible for the normal force to be equal to the gravitational force?

• Yes. If the surface is horizontal and F_g is perpendicular to the surface.

• Yes. If the surface is vertical and F_g is parallel to the surface.

• No. F_N will always be less than F_g

• No. F_g will be less than F_N.

Is it possible for the object in the diagram to be moving to the right and have this free body diagram?

• Yes. It's possible that the x forces were just left off the diagram.

• Yes. It could be moving at a constant velocity.

• No. The FBD shows that the system is in equilibrium on both the x- and y- axis.

• No. An FBD shows all F.
