Chapter 6 Identifying and Using Forces (Normal Force and Tension)
Problem 5.57 A boy whirls a stone in a horizontal circle of radius 1.5 m and at a height 2.0 m above level ground. The string breaks, and the stone flies off horizontally and strikes the ground after traveling a horizontal distance of 10 m. What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the stone while in circular motion?
Newton’s 2nd Law in 3D Newton’ 2nd Law is a vector equation… Newton’s 2nd Law can be written in terms of it’s components
Some particular forces… • Gravitational force ( ) • Normal force ( ) • Tension force ( ) • Frictional force ( )
How to solve “F=ma” problems… • Pick a body • Draw free-body diagram • Choose a coordinate system • Break forces into components & use Newton’s 2nd
Quiz Question 1: Two forces are shown acting on an object. For the object not to accelerate, a 3rd force must be applied to the object that has a magnitude equal to: • 1N • 3N • 4N • 5N • 7N 3N 4N
Normal Force: Question An object of mass m rests on the table. What is the force of the table on the object? (What is the ‘normal force’, ? ) • is perpendicular to the surface
Quiz Question 2: The figure below shows 2 equal 100 lb. weights connected by a light string and supported by a pulley. The tension in the string is: • 0 lbs • 50 lbs • 100 lbs • 200 lbs • It is impossible to know from the data given m1
Tension Comment: • For a rope of negligible mass, the magnitude of the force exerted on a rope is the same at all points on the rope
Quiz Question 3 Consider the two situations shown in which there is no acceleration. In both cases the men pull with a force of magnitude F. Is the reading on the scale in part (i) of the figure • greater than • less than • equal to the reading in (ii)?
Example 1: What is the acceleration of mass down the inclined plane? What is the Normal force? (In this problem, friction is negligible)
