Concept explainers
A second book of greater mass is placed on top of the first.
Sketch a free-body diagram for each of the book in the space below. Label all the forces as in part A.
Specify which of the forces are contact forces and which are non-contact.
1. Examine all the forces on the two free-body diagram you just drew. Explain why a force that appears on one diagram should not appear on the other diagram.
2. What type of force does the upper exert on the lower book (e.g., frictional, gravitational)?
Why would it be incorrect to say that the weight of the upper book acts on the lower book?
3. What observation can you make that allows you to determine the relative magnitudes of the forces on the upper book?
4. Are there any forces acting on the lower book that have the same magnitude as a force acting on the upper book? Explain.

- ***THERE IS NO DIAGRAM NEEDED** please clearly state what i is and what j is for each one. Block 1 (20 kg) is pulled by a rope from left to right up a ramp which is inclined 50 degrees from the horizontal. The rope pulls on block 1 with a force of 300 N parallel to the surface of the inclined plane. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface equals 0.3.On a sheet of paper, draw the free body diagram for block 1 using the two-subscript notation from class. Assume that the x-axis is parallel to the incline and positive in the direction up the incline. After completing the free body diagram, enter below each force and its x & y-components.FORCES on BLOCK 1Weight force on block 1 by EarthW1E = i + j NTension force on block 1 by RopeT1R = i + j NNormal force on block 1 by SurfaceN1S = i + j NFrictional force on block 1 by Surfacef1S = i + j N What is the acceleration a of block 1?a = i + j m/s2arrow_forwardBased on the image provided, which picture shows contact force? How about non-contact force? Differentiate contact from the non-contact force? What specific kind of force is present in picture 1? How about in picture 2?

- ASAP please!! Draw (and upload) a free-body-diagram for block B under the conditions described in question 4 (immediately before this question). The only object in this diagram should be block B, and only forces appropriate for a free-body-diagram of block B should appear. All force vectors must be labeled with letters and subscripts as defined for this class.arrow_forwardWrite out Newton’s Second Law for each mass, showing the sum of forces from the free-body diagrams from step 1. Assume up is the positive for both diagrams. Show your work here.arrow_forwardProblem Solving, write all your computations and always encircle your final answer and write your final answer in the space provided after each number. This is all about General Physics 1: Free Body Diagram.arrow_forward
- If two tugboats pull on a disabled vessel, as shown here in an overhead view, the disabled vessel will be pulled along the direction indicated by the result of the exerted forces. (a) Draw a free-body diagram for the vessel. Assume no friction or drag forces affect the vessel. (b) Did you include all forces in the overhead view in your free-body diagram? Why or why not?arrow_forwardThe contestant now pulls the block of ice with a rope over his shoulder at the same angle above the horizontal as shown below. Calculate the minimum force Fhe must exert to get the block moving. (b) What is its acceleration once it starts to move, if that force is maintained?arrow_forwardPlease help me to draw a free body diagram.....PLEASE label the arrow coreectly by using mg, T, a, fNarrow_forward
- A loaded elevator with very worn cables has a total mass of 2200 [kg], and the cables can withstand a maximum tension of 28,000 [N]. Draw the free-body force diagram for the elevator. In terms of the forces on your diagram, what is the net force on the elevator? Apply Newton’s second law to the elevator and find the maximum upward acceleration for the elevator if the cables are not to break. What would be the answer to part (a) if the elevator were on the moon, where g = 1.62 [m/s2]?arrow_forwardhow solutions clearly and free body diagram.arrow_forwardSolve the problem and answer the questions that follow. Would the force required to get the mass to start moving up the ramp be higher or lower than the force you calculated in the problem above? ______________________________________________________________________________ • Would the force required to keep the mass moving up the ramp be higher or lower than the force required to get the mass to start moving up the ramp? Why?arrow_forward
