Answer:

Force due to seat must be equal to the Weight of the student

Explanation:

As we know that the student is sitting on the seat at rest

So here we can say that at this position the student must be at equilibrium position

so we can write force equation for this position of student

vertically downward the net force is due to his/ her weight which is given as

W = mg

now this weight of the student is counter balanced by the the normal force due to seat which is in opposite direction

Now for equilibrium position of the object we will have

F_n = mg

so the seat will push the student upwards by force which is equal to the weight.

The force pushing down  is the force of Gravity. On a chair it is in perfect balance with the force pushing up (the normal force)
 

in terms of magnitude 
FN = FG = mg

the forces are in opposite direction

hope this helps

azamat

Answer:

a) System aceleration:

  • a=\frac{g(m_2-m_1sin(\theta))}{m_1+m_2}

b) Direction of movement:

The block m_1 down the plane when the acceleration is negative. This occur when:

m_2-m_1sin(\theta)

The block m_2 up the plane when the acceleration is positive. This occur when:

m_2-m_1sin(\theta)>0

Explanation:

For the block m_1 the move direction is parallel (||) to the plane

\sum F_{||}=m_1a=T-sin(\theta)mg  (1)

For the block m_2  the move direction is vertical (y)

\sum F_y=m_2a=m_2g-T  (2)

Both blocks are connected with the same cable, therefore, the tension on the cable and the acceleration is the same for both.

Solving the equation 2 for T:

T=m_2g-m_2a   (3)

replacing (3) in the equation (1)

m_2g-m_2a- m_1gsin(\theta)=m_1a  (4)

solving (4) for a:

a=\frac{g(m_2-m_1sin(\theta))}{m_1+m_2}
