Question

As it pulls itself up to a branch, a chimpanzee accelerates upward at 2.4 m/s2 at the instant it exerts a 260-N force downward on the branch.Find the magnitude of the force the chimpanzee exerts on the Earth.

Answer 1

Answer:

$F=208.83N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Acceleration $a=2.4m/s^2$

Force of Branch $F=260N$

Generally the Newton's equation second law for Force is mathematically given by

 $ma=F-mg$

 $m=\frac{260}{2.4+9.8}$

 $m=21.31kg$

Therefore

 $F=mg$

 $F=(21.31)(9.8)$

 $F=208.83N$
