Forces in Two Dimensions - Objectives • Addition of Forces • Resolution of Forces • Equilibrium and Static • Net Force Problems Revisited • Inclined Planes
Addition of Forces • Newton’s 2nd Law: ∑F = ma (∑F is the net force)
Two ways to add vectors • Graphical Method • Head and tail • parallelogram • Mathematical method: Using vectorresolution and Pythagorean Theorem to determine magnitude and tangent function to determine direction
Equilibrium and Static • When all the forces that act upon an object are balanced, then the object is said to be in a state of equilibrium. ∑F = 0, a = 0 • An object at equilibrium is either ... • at rest and staying at rest - "static equilibrium.” • in motion and continuing in motion with the same speed and direction.
example • Forces A, B, C acting on a point. Determine if they produce equilibrium on the point. B A C
Resolve vectors Use Pythagorean Theorem to determine magnitude Use Tangent function to determine direction Mathematical Method • The data in the table above show that the forces nearly balance. We could say it's "close enough."
Example • A frame is shown with the given tension. Determine the weight of the frame. (50N)sin30 = ½ (50 N) B A (50N)cos120 = -43 N (50N)cos30 = 43 N Fg = 50 N C Cx = 0 Cy = - 50 N The weight is 50 N downward
Example • A sign is shown with the given mass of 5 kg. Determine the tension of each cable. Tsin40o + Tsin40o A = T B=T 40o 40o Tcos140o Tcos40o Fg = mg = 49 N Tsin40o + Tsin140o = 49 N T = 38.1 N
An important principle Fg = 10 N • As the angle with the horizontal increases, the amount of tensional force required to hold the sign at equilibrium decreases.
In conclusion • Equilibrium is the state of an object in which all the forces acting upon it are balanced. In such cases, the net force is 0 Newton. Knowing the forces acting upon an object, trigonometric functions can be utilized to determine the horizontal and vertical components of each force. At equilibrium, all the vertical components must balance and all the horizontal components must balance.
Net Force Problems Revisited • A force directed an angle can be resolved into two components - a horizontal and a vertical component. • To determine Net Force, add all the forces by components, then use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the magnitude and tangent function to determine direction • The acceleration of an object can be determined by using Newton's second law.
Example - Determine the net force and acceleration Object moves in horizontal direction Fnet = 69.9 N, right m = (Fgrav / g) = 20 kg a = (69.9 N) / (20 kg) =3.50 m/s/s, right
Example - Determine the net force and acceleration Object moves in horizontal direction Fnet = 30.7 N, right a = 1.23 m/s/s, right.
Procedures for adding vectors at an angle with horizontal • Resolve the vectors at an angle into x and y components. • Add all the x components together • Add all the y components together • Use Pythagorean Theorem to find the resultant (hypotenuse) • Resultant2 = x2 + y2 • Use trigonometric function to determine the direction: tanθ = opp / adj • Use Newton’s 2nd Law to determine acceleration.
Practice 1 X Y FAX FAY Fg FN Total = FAX Total = 0 A block of 10 kg mass is pushed along a frictionless, horizontal surface with a force of 100 N at an angle of 30° above horizontal. This applied force (FA) can be broken into COMPONENTS FAx = 100cos(30o) = 87 N FAy = 100sin(30o) = 50 N FN The total vertical force must be 0, so Ry = FN + FAY –Fg = 0 FN = Fg – FAY FA FAY 30˚ FAX R= Rx = Fax Acceleration depends only on FAX Fg
Practice 2 A man pulls a 40 kilogram crate across a smooth, frictionless floor with a force of 20 N that is 45˚ above horizontal. What is the net force on the sled? How could the acceleration be increased? Fnet = FA cos θ Fnet = (20 N)(cos 45°) Fnet = 14.14 N Pushing at a smaller angle will make Fnet greater and therefore increase acceleration. What is the crate’s acceleration? a = Fnet / m a = (14.14 N) / (40 kg) a = 0.35 m/s2
Pushing on an Angle X Y FAX FAY Fg FN Total = FAX Total = 0 A block is pushed along a frictionless, horizontal surface with a force of 100 newtons at an angle of 30° below horizontal. This applied force (FA) can be broken into COMPONENTS FN The total vertical force must be 0, so FN = Fg + FAY FAX FAY -30˚ FA Acceleration depends only on FAX Fg
Practice 3 A girl pushes a 30 kilogram lawnmower with a force of 15 N at an angle of 60˚ below horizontal. Assuming there is no friction, what is the acceleration of the lawnmower? Fnet = FA cos θ Fnet = (15 N)(cos 60°) Fnet = 7.5 N a = Fnet / m a = (7.5 N) / (30 kg) a = 0.25 m/s2 • What could she do to reduce her acceleration? Push at an greater angle
Practice 5 • A student moves a box of books by attaching a rope to the box and pulling with a force of 90.0 N at an angle of 30.0 degrees. The box of books has a mass of 20.0 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the bottom of the box and the sidewalk is 0.50. find the acceleration of the box.
determine the net force and acceleration Fnet2 = (∑Fx)2 + (∑Fy)2 Fnet= 39 N θ = tan-1(-23/32) = -36o θ = 324o CCW a = Fnet / m = 39 N / 5 kg = 8.0 m/s2, same direction as the force
Inclined Planes • Objects accelerate down inclined planes because of an unbalanced force. The unbalanced force is caused by gravity. • Note: the normal force is not directed in the direction that we are accustomed to. The normal forces are always directed perpendicularto the surface that the object is on.
An important idea • The process of analyzing the forces acting upon objects on inclined planes will involve resolving the weight vector (Fgrav) into two perpendicular components. • The perpendicular component of the force of gravity is directed opposite the normal force and as such balances the normal force. • The parallel component of the force of gravity is part of the net force that is responsible to object’s motion along the incline.
Forces on an Incline Calculations Consider forces: Perpendicular F┴ = Fgcosθ Cancel out Normal (FN ) Parallel F// = Fg sin θ All the parallel components (including the friction force) add together to yield the net force. Which should directed along the incline. θ Tilt you head method θ
Essential Knowledge What happens to the component of weight that is perpendicular to the plane as the angle is increased? Decreases – Fg perpendicular What happens to the component of weight that points ALONG the plane as the angle is increased? Increases – Fg parallel What happens to the normal force as the angle is increased? Decreases – depends on Fg perpendicular What happens to the friction force as the angle is increased? Decreases – depends on normal force
Example What is the magnitude of the normal force? FN = Fg perpendicular = Fg cos θ = 43.3 N If the box is sliding with a constant velocity, what is the magnitude of the friction force? Ff = Fg parallel = Fg sin θ = 25 N Fg = 50N 30°
