Answer:

Weight, W = 245 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the block, m = 25 kg

We need to find its weight. From Newton's second law of motion,

F=m\times a

a is the acceleration of the object

On the surface of earth, a=9.8\ m/s^2

F=25\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2                    

F = 245 N

So, the weight of the object is 245 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Use the law of universal gravitation to describe the relationship between you and your desk
tangare [24]
The law of gravitation states that things closer to the core of gravitation, have a larger force pulling down on them. In relation of you to your desk, you and the desk are both drawn downwards towards the center of gravity.

What's is meant by relative motion?​
saveliy_v [14]

Relative motion means a motion relative to a reference point. We can also say, relative motion means motion referred or observed from a reference point.

For example, Alex is in a train and Ace is at the station, when the train starts moving, for Ace it is moving at a speed of 10 m/s, but for Alex it is moving at 0 m/s, or we can say that it is at rest for Alex, but in motion for Ace. This is relative motion.

Mumz [18]

Complete Question:

Given \sigma = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}10&12&13\\12&11&15\\13&15&20\end{array}\right] at a point. What is the force per unit area at this point acting normal to the surface with\b n = (1/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + (1/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z   ? Are there any shear stresses acting on this surface?

Answer:

Force per unit area, \sigma_n = 28 MPa

There are shear stresses acting on the surface since \tau \neq 0

Explanation:

\sigma = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}10&12&13\\12&11&15\\13&15&20\end{array}\right]

equation of the normal, \b n = (1/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + (1/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z

\b n = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }\\0\\\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }\end{array}\right]

Traction vector on n, T_n = \sigma \b n

T_n =  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}10&12&13\\12&11&15\\13&15&20\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }\\0\\\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }\end{array}\right]

T_n = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}\frac{23}{\sqrt{2} }\\0\\\frac{27}{\sqrt{33} }\end{array}\right]

T_n = \frac{23}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{33}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z

To get the Force per unit area acting normal to the surface, find the dot product of the traction vector and the normal.

\sigma_n = T_n . \b n

\sigma \b n = (\frac{23}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{33}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z) . ((1/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + 0 \b  e_y +(1/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z)\\\\\sigma \b n = 28 MPa

If the shear stress, \tau, is calculated and it is not equal to zero, this means there are shear stresses.

\tau = T_n  - \sigma_n \b n

\tau =  [\frac{23}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{33}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z] - 28( (1/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + (1/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z)\\\\\tau =  [\frac{23}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{33}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z] - [ (28/ \sqrt{2} ) \b e_x + (28/ \sqrt{2}) \b e_z]\\\\\tau =  \frac{-5}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_x + \frac{27}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_y + \frac{5}{\sqrt{2} } \b e_z

\tau = \sqrt{(-5/\sqrt{2})^2  + (27/\sqrt{2})^2 + (5/\sqrt{2})^2} \\\\ \tau = 19.74 MPa

Since \tau \neq 0, there are shear stresses acting on the surface.
