CHAPTER-5
Weight:
Equals the magnitude of a net
force required to prevent the body
from falling freely, as measured on
the ground.
weight |W| = |Fg|
Ch 5-7: Some Particular Forces (FN and T)
Normal Force FN :
When a body presses against a
surface, the surface pushes
the body with a normal force
FN, that is to the surface
For a block resting on a table
FN = mg
Tension Force T:
It is the force applied to a
body through a cord, pulled
taut opposite to object. For a
mass less cord , the pulls at
both ends of the cord has
same magnitude T
Checkpoint 5-3
In figure shown below, is the (a) For constant speed
magnitude of the normal force FN Fnet=0= FN – mg=0
greater than, less than, or equal to
FN = mg
mg if the block and table are in an
elevator moving upward
(a) at constant speed (b) For increasing speed
(b) at increasing speed Fnet=ma= FN – mg
FN = ma + mg
FN > mg
Checkpoint 5-4
The suspended body in the figure (c) weighs (a) For constant speed
75 N. Is T equal to greater than, less than Fnet=0= T – mg=0
75 N when body is moving upward at T = mg = 75 N
(a) constant speed
(b) For increasing speed
(b) at increasing speed
Fnet=ma = T – mg
(c) at decreasing speed
T = ma + mg
T > mg
(c) For decreasing speed
Fnet=-ma = T – mg
T = mg - ma
T < mg
Ch 5-8 Newton’s Third Law
For (a)
Fy=FN-Fgs=May=0; FN= Fgs
Fx=Max=T=Ma; T=Ma
For (b)
Fx=0
Fy=T-FgH=T-mg=-ma
T=m(g-a) and T=Ma
Solve for a
a =mg/(m+M)
Ch 5-9 Applying Newton’s Laws
Sample Problem 5-6
Find a?
Introduce action and
reaction par forces FAB
and FBA
Fapp=(mA+mB)a
a= Fapp/(mA+mB)
Then FBA =mBa
