# A block of weight \( W \) is pulled along a horizontal surface at constant speed by a force \( F \), which acts at an angle of \( \theta \) with the horizontal. The normal force exerted on the block by the surface has magnitude:

A block of weight \( W \) is pulled along a horizontal surface at constant speed by a force \( F \), which acts at an angle of \( \theta \) with the horizontal. The normal force exerted on the block by the surface has magnitude:

- **A.** greater than \(W\)
- **B.** greater than zero but less than \(W\)
- **C.** equal to \(W\)
- **D.** zero
