A chair is pushed forward with a force of 185 N. The gravitational force of earth on the chair is 155 N downward. The force of f
riction acting on the chair is 55 N. Draw a free-body diagram showing all forces acting on the chair. Determine the magnitude of any missing force values AND determine the net force acting on the chair.
2 answers:
The net force on the chair is 100N
<u>Explanation:</u>
The free body diagram is attached below.
According to the condition,
when a downward gravitational force of 155N of earth acts then an equal opposite upward force of same magnitude also acts on the chair.
Therefore, the normal force acting on the chair is 155N
When a chair is pushed forward on a surface, then a frictional force also acts on it in opposite direction.
The net force acting on the chair is = F - f
Where,
F is the applied force
f is the force of friction
Net force = 155N - 55N
Fnet = 100N
Therefore, net force on the chair is 100N

To develop the problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations for the description of the position, speed and acceleration.
In turn, we will resort to the application of Newton's second law.
PART A) For the first part we look for the time, in a constant acceleration, knowing the speeds and the displacement therefore we know that,
Where,
X = Desplazamiento
V = Velocity
t = Time
In this case there is no initial displacement or initial velocity, therefore
Clearing for time,
PART B) This is a question about the impulse of bodies, where we turn to Newton's second law, because:
F = ma
Where,
m=mass
a = acceleration
Acceleration can also be written as,
Then
Negative symbol is because the force is opposite of the direction of moton.
PART C) Acceleration through kinematics equation is defined as
The gravity is equal to 0.8, then the acceleration is
