2) Scale reading in accelerating elevator: The 10.0 kg mass is on a scale, and the 8.00 kg mass hangs from the other end of the string over the pulley as illustrated and the system is in an elevator on earth. (Pulley & string massless, frictionless.) (See PSL 5.2,5) a) If zero acceleration: what is the scale reading in Newtons? Explain. b) Now the elevator and the entire mass and pulley system accelerate together. The reading on the scale is now 9.80 N. Based on this, what do you think is the direction of acceleration? (Gut feeling.) c) Draw FBDs for both the 10 kg and the 8 kg masses (for the accelerating system). d) Use N2L to determine the (i) string tension and (ii) acceleration of the system. Does the direction of the acceleration agree with your answer earlier? Elevator 10 kg scale Since everything accelerates together in the same direction, make this your positive direction for all objects. 8 kg

A 200-kg object and a 500-kg object are separated by 4.00 m. (a) Find the net gravitational force exerted by these objects on a 50.0-kg object placed midway between them. (b) At what position (other than an infinitely remote one) can the 50.0-kg object be placed so as to experience a net force of zero from the other two objects?
The gravitational force on the basketball in Figure 4.6 is ignored. When gravity is taken into account, what is the direction of the net external force on the basketball—above horizontal, below horizontal, or still horizontal? Figure 4.6 The same force exerted on systems of different masses produces different accelerations. (a) A basketball player pushes on a basketball to make a pass. (The effect of gravity on the ball is ignored.) (b) The same player exerts an identical force on a stalled SUV and produces a far smaller acceleration (even if friction is negligible). (c) The free-body diagrams are identical, permitting direct comparison of the two situations. A series of patterns for the free-body diagram will emerge as you do more problems.
A person stands on a spring scale in an elevator car as shown in Figure 5.5. Which of these sourcesthe Earth, spring scale, elevator car. and cableexert an external force if the system consists of: a. Only the person? b. The person and the spring scale? c. The person, the spring scale, and the elevator car? FIGURE 5.5

Unreasonable Result A mountain 10.0 km from a person exerts a gravitational force on him equal to 2.00% of his weight. (a) Calculate the mass of the mountain. (b) Compare the mountain's mass with that of Earth. (c) What is unreasonable about these results? (d) Which premises are unreasonable or inconsistent? (Note that accurate gravitational measurements can easily detect the effect of nearby mountains and variations in local geology.)
What is the direction of the force exerted by the car on the passenger as the car goes over the top of the amusement ride pictured in Figure 6.33 under the following circumstances: (a) The car goes over the top at such a speed that the gravitational force is the only force acting? (b) The car goes over the top faster than this speed? (c) The car goes over the top slower than this speed?
The observer in the accelerating elevator of Example 5.8 would claim that the weight of the fish is T, the scale reading, but this answer is obviously wrong. Why does this observation differ from that of a person outside the elevator, at rest with respect to the Earth?
You are riding on a Ferris wheel (Fig. 5.8) that is rotating with constant speed. The car in which you are riding always maintains its correct upward orientation: it does not invert. (i) What is the direction of the normal force on you from the seat when you are at the top of the wheel? (a) upward (b) downward (c) impossible to determine. (ii) From the same choices, what is the direction of the net force on you when you are at the top of the wheel?
Astrology, that unlikely and vague pseudoscience, makes much of the position of the planets at the moment of one's birth. The only known force a planet exerts on Earth is gravitational. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on a 4.20 kg baby by a 100 kg father 0.200 m away at birth (he is assisting, so he is close to the child) (b) Calculate the magnitude of the force on the baby due to Jupiter if it is at its closest distance to Earth, some 6.291011 m away. How does the force of Jupiter on the baby compare to the force of the father on the baby? Other objects in the room and the hospital building also exert similar gravitational forces. (Of course, there could be an unknown force acting, but scientists first need to be convinced that there is even an effect, much less that an unknown force causes it.)
A 15.0-kg object is in free fall near the surface of the Earth. What is its weight? What is its acceleration? What is the direction of the gravitational force exerted on it? How do your answers change if the same object is at rest on the surface of the Earth?
A car moves at speed v across a bridge made in the shape of a circular arc of radius r. (a) Find an expression for the normal force acting on the car when it is at the top of the arc. (b) At what minimum speed will the normal force become zero (causing the occupants of the car to seem weightless) if r = 30.0 m?
Review. The gravitational force exerted on a baseball is 2.21 N down.
