A woman holds a book by placing it between her hands such that she presses at right angles to the front and back covers. The boo
k has a mass of m = 1.3 kg and the coefficient of static friction between her hand and the book is μs = 0.69. What is the weight of the book in Newton?

Answer:
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem we need to make a free body diagram of the book and the forces that interact on it. In the picture below you can see the free body diagram with these forces.
The person holding the book is compressing it with his hands, thus exerting a couple of forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction with value F.
Now the key to solving this problem is to analyze the equilibrium condition (Newton's third law) on the x & y axes.
To find the weight of the book we simply multiply the mass of the book by gravity.
W = m*g
W = 1.3[kg] * 9.81[m/s^2]
W = 12.75 [N]

Answer:
Explanation:
Time period is the reciprocal of frequency
T = 1/F
F = 1/T
but angular frequency w = 2πF
F = w/2π

Answer:
Respuesta correcta, opción D: Es la fuerza que un cuerpo ejerce perpendicularmente sobre el área en la que actúa.
Explanation:
La definición de presión es la fuerza que un cuerpo ejerce en dirección perpendicular sobre el área en la que actúa.
Cuando se aplica una fuerza sobre la superficie de un cuerpo, la presión es la siguiente:
En donde:
F es la fuerza aplicada.
A es el área del cuerpo.
Por lo tanto la opción correcta es la D: es la fuerza que un cuerpo ejerce perpendicularmente sobre el área en la que actúa.
