Discussion: As an example, if the block sits on the table, there are two forces acting on it: gravity due to the earth and the normal force due to the table. If the block is pulled accross the table, there are four forces acting on the block: in addition the aforementioned two, there is now the tension due to the string and friction due to the table.
