A block with a weight of 9.0 N is at rest on a horizontal surface. A 1.2 N upward force is applied to the block by means of an a

ttached vertical string. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the force of the block on the horizontal surface

Answer:

a)   9 - 1.2 = 7.8 N

b) Since the force exerted by the box is it's weight, it acts in a downward direction. So the box will exert a force downward (perpendicular to the horizontal surface).

Explanation:

A 9N block would exert 9N of normal force on the horizontal plane under normal conditions. But in this case, we have a spring taking away some of the force by applying an upward force on the box.

So the force exerted by the box on the surface would now be:

a)   9 - 1.2 = 7.8 N

b) Since the force exerted by the box is it's weight, it acts in a downward direction. So the box will exert a force downward (perpendicular to the horizontal surface).

As far as I'm concerned, this is a bogus question, or at least a severely corrupted one.

The three numbers given can NOT all be true on Earth.

-- It rolled off the table at 7.6 m/s .  By golly, there you are!  Its initial horizontal velocity is 7.6 m/s, and it has no vertical velocity until it leaves the table.

-- There are no horizontal forces that we're aware of acting on the object.  So it maintains the same horizontal velocity for the rest of the story.  It's 10.5m away from the table in (10.5 m) / (7.8 m/s) = 1.35 second .

-- Vertically, it's just an object dropped from 17.6m off the floor.  Shockingly, the distance it falls in time 'T' is (1/2 g) T².  In 1.35 second, that's 8.88 meters ! . . . only about halfway to the floor !

-- In order to fall 17.6 m to the floor, it would need 1.89 seconds.  In <u>that</u> length of time, however, it would travel (7.8 m/s) x (1.89 s) = 14.78 m away from the base of the table.

So you see, either . . .

-- the table is NOT 17.6m tall, or

-- the object does NOT roll off of the table at 7.8 m/s, or

-- it does NOT land 10.5 m away from the base of the table.

OR . . .

-- the table is not on Earth, and gravity is not 9.8 m/s² !

We often see questions posted on Brainly with not enough given information, OR with some information given that's not needed because it's not involved the answer.  

THIS one is different, and it's unusual.  In this one, we have<em> too much</em> given information, we can't ignore any of it because it's all related, but it's inconsistent and it CAN't all be true.

(Unless the whole story takes place on a mystery planet that is not Earth.  Which I'm not going to take the time and effort right now to figure out what the acceleration of gravity has to be in order to make all of the given information compatible.)

There are several possibilities.  Here are a few that occur to me:

--  If Point-A is the summit of Pike's Peak, he may feel somewhat
short of breath.

-- If Point-A is his grandmother's house, he may feel a great sense
of pleasant anticipation.

-- If Point-A is his office on Monday morning, then he may feel
a tightening sensation in his chest.;

-- If Point-A is his home on Friday afternoon, then he feels the
effects of a slow and steady drop in his blood pressure.

I finer point might be put to it if we had any idea of where
Point-A is, and what it represents in the grand scheme
of things.
