A cardboard box sits on top of a concrete sidewalk where the coefficient of friction between the surfaces is 0.4. The mass of th

e box is 10 Kg and the box is pulled horizontally with a force of 60 N. What is the Gravitational Force on the box? What is the Normal Force? What is the Frictional Force? What is the Acceleration?

Answer:

Fg = 98.1 [N]; N = 98.1 [N]; Ff = 39.24 [N]; a = 2.076[m/^2]

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we must make a free body diagram and interpret each of the forces acting on the box. In the attached diagram we can find the free body diagram.

The gravitational force is equal to:

Fg = (10 * 9.81) = 98.1 [N]

Now by summing forces on the Y axis equal to zero, we can find the normal force exerted by the surface.

N - Fg = 0

N = Fg

N = 98.1 [N]

The friction force is defined as the product of normal force by the coefficient of friction.

Ff = N * μ

Ff = 98.1 * 0.4

Ff = 39.24 [N]

By the sum forces on the x-axis equal to the product of mass by acceleration (newton's second law), we can find the value of acceleration.

60 - Ff = m * a

60 - 39.24 = 10 * a

a = 2.076[m/^2]

An object is pulled to the left by a force of 50 N. The same amount of force pulls it to the right. The object will ____.
11111nata11111 [884]
<h2><u>Required</u><u> </u><u>Answer</u><u>:</u></h2>

The body will <u>stay at rest </u>(Option D). It is because a force of magnitude 50 N is pulled towards left and another force is pulling it towards right with same magnitude 50 N. So, the direction of force is opposite and magnitude is same i.e. 50 N. So, they will cancel each other and net force is 0. Hence, there would be no acceleration.

  • Option A - Showing acceleration
  • Option B - Showing acceleration
  • Option C - Change of direction due to Net force

Hence, these options are incorrect because they are only possible when net external force is non-zero. Staying at rest i.e. Option D means there is no motion and hence no acceleration, this shows that net force is 0.
