Question

Block 1 (2 kg) is setting on the floor of an elevator. A hand pushes vertically down on block 1 with a force of 26.0 N. The elevator is moving downward with an increasing speed and the magnitude of the acceleration is 7 m/s2.
On a sheet of paper, draw the free body diagram for block 1 using the two-subscript notation from class. After completing the free body diagram, enter below each force and its x & y-components. Remember that the x-component is the "i" component and the y-component is the "j" component.

 

NET force on Block 1
Fnet1 =  i +  j N

FORCES on BLOCK 1
Weight force on block 1 by Earth
W1E =  i +  j N

Normal force on block 1 by Hand
N1H =  i +  j N

Normal force on block 1 by Surface
N1S =  i +  j N
