Answer:

18 N

Explanation:

Force can be found using the following formula.

f= m*a

where m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

We know the desk has a mass of 36 kilograms. We also know that its acceleration is 0.5 m/s^2.

m= 36 kg

a= 0.5 m/s^2

Substitute these values into the formula.

f= 36 kg * 0.5 m/s^2

Multiply 36 and 0.5

f=18 kg m/s^2

1 kg m/s^2 is equivalent to 1 Newton, or N.

f= 18 Newtons

The force being applied is 18 kg m/s^2, Newtons, or N

The acceleration due to gravity for any object, including 1 washer on the string, is always assumed to be m/s2. The mass of 3 wa

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

The force will increase in proportion to the mass of the objects

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity is always the same. It is expressed in meters per second squared or m/s². The figure of 9.81 m/s² is an average value that was taken after calculating the acceleration under different surfaces. In fact, the acceleration differs depending on the shape of the part of the earth in relation to the earth's magnetic field and force.

Thus, if one washer was 20 kg, the acceleration being 9.81 m/s² the weight will be:

F = ma

= $20 * 9.81\\= 196.2 N$
