Answer:
The answer is given here would be a simplified equation, seeing as there are some missing variables in the question.
<u>F1 = T- 46, 674.656 gm/s² </u>
Explanation:
<em>Note: Once we have the mass of the second object and/or acceleration of the cord, we can solve for the force of the ground acting on the box.</em>
To calculate the force caused by gravity on the basic pulley system we use the following equation:
F2 = M2 x g; where g= gravitational acceleration (a constant equal to 9.8 m/s²). The mass M2 = 10.5 lb = 4762.72g
∴ F2 = 4762.72g x 9.8 m/s²
= 46, 674.656 gm/s² or 46, 674.656 N
But since this F2 is acting in a downlowrd direction, it would be negative.
Tension of the cord, T = Mass, x × acceleration. ( x is in the pulley diagram)
⇒ F1 = T - F2
<u>F1 = T- 46, 674.656 gm/s² </u>
Answer:
a). Determine the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on each by the earth.
Rock:
Pebble:
(b)Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of each object when released.
Rock:
Pebble:
Explanation:
The universal law of gravitation is defined as:
(1)
Where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects and r is the distance between them.
<em>Case for the rock </em><em>:</em>
m1 will be equal to the mass of the Earth and since the rock and the pebble are held near the surface of the Earth, then, r will be equal to the radius of the Earth
.
Newton's second law can be used to know the acceleration.
