A) The weight of the box is given by:

W = mg

W = weight, m = mass, g = gravitational acceleration

Given values:

m = 3.46kg, g = 9.81m/s²

Plug in and solve for W:

W = 3.46(9.81)

W = 33.9N

B) The box is sitting at rest on the floor. This means that the box is in equilibrium; the two forces acting on it, its weight and the normal force that the floor exerts on it, are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. Therefore the normal force N acting on the box has a magnitude of 33.9N

Nadya [2.5K]

As per Newton's III law every action has equal and opposite reaction

So here we can say that

every body which apply force on other body must have a reaction force of same magnitude in opposite direction

So here if ball hits the ground by 50 N force then the ball must have a reaction force on itself with same magnitude and opposite direction

the magnitude of the force will be 50 N

and its direction is opposite to the force that ball apply on the floor

Why are we not crushed by the weight of the atmosphere on our shoulders?

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Due to equal pressure in all the direction at a particular level in a fluid medium (Pascal's Law)

Explanation:

We are not crushed by the weight of the atmosphere because atmosphere is a fluid and we are immersed into it. So, according to the Pascal's law the the pressure a each point in a horizontal level is equal in all the direction irrespective of the orientation of a body.

Variation of pressure in term of the height of a fluid medium is given as:

$P=\rho.g.h$

$\rho=$ density of fluid

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height of the free surface of the fluid from the immersed object.

And atmosphere has very less variation of pressure with change in height as it is a rare medium fluid and so for a human height there is very negligible variation of pressure at the heat of a human with respect to his toe.
