If the bird's mass is 82 g, what is the maximum net vertical force exerted on the bird?Can someone help me solve these two questions? I thought it was a direct plug into f=ma.
A helium balloon floats at the end of a string. The net force (the bouyancy force minus the weight) on the balloon is 33 N. If the tension in the string exceeds 54 N of force, the string will break. How great a force can a horizontal wind exert on the balloon before the string breaks?
A 50 kg mass is suspended from the ceiling. How much tension is experienced by the mass?
