@matt101 can you help me out with this?

OpenStudy (owlet):

Normal force is a contact force exerted by a surface on an object when they are in contact. From your diagram, only m1 will have a normal force. Along with the normal force, m1 will also have gravitational force and tension force. m2 will have tension force and gravitational force only.
