Answer:

Force = 2802.8 Newton

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 130 lbs

But, 2.2 lbs = 1.0 kg

130 lbs to kg = 130 * 2.2 = 286 kg

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

To find the force in Newton;

Force = mass * acceleration due to gravity

Force = 286 * 9.8

Force = 2802.8 Newton

With your hand parallel to the floor and your palm upright, you lower a 3-kg book downward. If the force exerted on the book by

lara31 [8.8K]

According to the net force, the acceleration of the book is 16.47 m/s².

We need to know about force to solve this problem. According to second Newton's Law, the force applied to an object will be proportional to mass and acceleration. Hence, it can be written as

∑F = m . a

where F is force, m is mass and a is acceleration

From the question above, we know that

m = 3 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

F1 = 20 N

Find the net force

∑F = F1 + W

∑F = 20 + m . g

∑F = 20 + 3 . 9.8

∑F = 20 + 29.4

∑F = 49.4 N
