An elevator is being pulled up from the ground floor to the third floor by a cable. The cable is exerting 4500 newtons of force

on the elevator. According to Newton's law of action-reaction, what is the gravitational force on the elevator, in newtons, if the elevator is NOT accelerating?

Answer:

The gravitational force on the elevator = 4500N

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The force applied by the elevator, F  = 4500 N

The acceleration of the elevator = Not accelerating

From Newton's third law of motion, the action of the cable force is equal to the reaction of the gravitational force on the elevator which is the weight, W and motion of the elevator as follows;

F = W + Mass of elevator × Acceleration of elevator

∴ F = W + Mass of elevator × 0 = W

F = 4500 N = W

The net force on the elevator is F - W = 0

The gravitational force on the elevator = W = 4500N.

Problem: Suppose that the rate of flow of water through a fire hose is 21.4 kg/s and the stream of water from the hose moves at
Sloan [31]

Answer:

The force exerted is 318.86 N

Explanation:

The force exerted by such a stream is calculated by multiplying the mass flow rate of water by the velocity of the stream of water.

mass flow rate = 21.4 kg/s

velocity = 14.9 m/s

Force exerted = 21.4 kg/s × 14.9 m/s = 318.86 kgm/s^2 = 318.86 N

If a force is 100 N and is pointing 37 degrees north of east. (a) Draw a diagram of this force. (b) Draw the force's x and y com
sasho [114]

Answer

given,

force = 100 N

Point 37 degrees north of east

a) and b) part is shown in the diagram attached below.

c) to find the x and y component of the force

x- component of the force

F_x = F cos \theta

F_x = 100\times cos 37^0

F_x = 79.86 N

y- component of the force

F_y = F sin \theta

F_y = 100\times sin 37^0

F_y = 60.18 N
