Test I: Identification. No Erasures. Write the term/s being described by the following
statements and write it on the space provided before each number. (2pts each)

Concurrent Force 1.) ________ are forces whose lines of action all pass through a common point.

Weight of an object 2.) The ________ of an object is essentially the force with which gravity pulls
downward upon it.

Equilibrium 3.) An object is in ________ under the action of concurrent forces provided it is not
accelerating.

Normal force 4.) ________ on an object that is being supported by a surface is the component of the
supporting force that is perpendicular to the surface.

Standard kilogram 5.) ________ an object whose mass is defined to be one kilogram.

Gram mass 6.) A ________ mass is equivalent to exactly 0.001 kg.

Coefficient of kinetic energy 7.) Defined for the case in which one surface is sliding across another at
constant speed.

Friction Force 8.) A tangential force acting on an object that opposes the sliding of that object on an
object adjacent surface with which it is in constant.

Force 9.) The agency of change.

External force 10.) One whose source lies outside of the system being considered.

Newton 11.) The SI unit of force.

Newton’s Third Law 12.) Matter interacts with matter – forces come in pairs.

Tensile Force 13.) Acting on a string or chain or tendon is the applied force tending to stretch it.

Weight 14.) ________ of an object is the gravitational force acting downward on the object.
Law of Universal Gravitation 15.) When to masses m and m’ gravitationally interacts, they attract each
other with forces of equal magnitude.

Test II. True or False. (1pts each)

True 1.) The second law was framed in terms of the concept of momentum.

True 2.) Newton’s 1st law states that an object at rest will remain at rest; an object in motion will
continue in motion with constant velocity, except insofar as it is acted upon by an external force.

True 3.) Force is the changer of motion.

True 4.) One newton is that resultant force which will give a 1 kg mass an acceleration of 1 m/s 2

False 5.) For each force exerted on one body, there is an equal, but opposite directed, force on some
other body interacting with it, this is often called the law of universal gravitation.

True 6.) The action and reaction forces act on the two different interacting objects.

True 7.) The magnitude of the tensile force is the tension.

False 8.) The friction force is not parallel to the surface and opposite to the direction of motion.

False 9.) When the applied force exceeds the maximum static friction will an object begin to stop.

True 10.) The acceleration of a body moving only under the force of gravity is the gravitational
acceleration

Test III. Problem Solving. Show your solutions. Round off your answer to two decimal
places and box your final answer. No erasures in final answer.

1. Find the weight of the object if the tension in the horizontal cord is 30 N. (10 pts)
2.) A rope extends between two poles. A 90-N boy hangs from it as shown in the figure. Find the
tensions in the two parts of the rope. (20 pts)
3.) Find the tensions FT1, FT3 and FT5 in the ropes shown in the figure if the supported object weighs 600
N. (30 pts)
