Chapter 5: Q 2. (page 127)

A chandelier hangs from a chain in the middle of a dining

room. Identify the forces on the chandelier.

Short Answer

Expert verified

two forces are there tension and weight

Step by step solution

01

Step 1.Given information

Here given that a chandelier is hanging in the middle of dining room with help of chain. then asked to find the which type of forces are applied on it.

02

Step 2

To identify the the forces first draw the free body diagram of this situation and then decided the applied forces.

in above diagram shown that there are two forces acting on chandelier one is tension force and other one is weight force because here object is hanging on wall with help of chain. there is no other forces are present.

here tension force is applied because it is help to object pulling up against gravity to hanging.

A heavy box is in the back of a truck. The truck is accelerating to the right. Draw a motion diagram, a force-identification diagram, and a free-body diagram for the box .

Problems 42 through 52 describe a situation. For each, draw a motion diagram, a force-identification diagram, and a free-body diagram.

An elevator, suspended by a single cable, has just left the tenth

floor and is speeding up as it descends toward the ground floor.

Problems 35 through 40 show a free-body diagram. For each:

a. Identify the direction of the acceleration vector au and show it as a vector next to your diagram. Or, if appropriate, write a→=0→

b. If possible, identify the direction of the velocity vector v→and show it as a labeled vector.

c. Write a short description of a real object for which this is the

correct free-body diagram. Use Examples 5.4, 5.5, and 5.6 as

models of what a description should be like.

A constant force applied to A causes A to accelerate at 5m/s2 . The same force applied to B causes an acceleration of 3m/s2 . Applied to C, it causes an acceleration of 8m/s2.

a. Which object has the largest mass? Explain.

b. Which object has the smallest mass?

c. What is the ratio mAmBof the mass of A to the mass of B?

A compressed spring is pushing a block across a rough horizontal table. How many force vectors would be shown on a free-body diagram? Name them.
