So in class today we were talking about Normal Force, and I was really confused on one diagram.
Here is a link about the question, but I don't understand why n<mg because if it is less than mg wouldn't that make it go through the earth? not sure but help understanding would be great thanks!

And if the link doesn't work the question is, a car traveling at a constant speed goes over a hill, at the top of the hill what is the normal force?
Thanks for the help!
