Chapter 2.3, Problem 3eT

The weight of a 200 g mass has magnitude ( 0.2 kg ) ( 9.8 m/s 2 ) 2 N . Similarly, the weight of a 400 g mass is approximately 4 N in magnitude.

1. How does the force exerted on object A by the string compare to these two weights?

2. How does the force exerted on object C by the string compare to these two weights?

Explain your answers.

3. How does the net force on object A compare to the net force on object C? Explain.

A man has a mass of 80 kg on Earth. a. What is the man’s weight on Mars where the acceleration due to gravity is 3.7 m/s2 ? Show your answer in both Newtons and pounds. b. What is the man’s mass while on Mars? Explain your answer.
Two masses B and C are connected with a string passing over a friction less pully, assuming the coefficient of friction between the table and block is μ=0.4 , and the acceleration of gravity g=9.81 m/s2. Solve the following questions (show all the steps of your calculations): A. Draw the free body diagram of the two masses.B. Find an expression of the acceleration of the two masses in terms of ?? and ??.C. Determine the tension in the rope in terms of ?? and ??.D. If ??= ʎ kg, ?? = (ʎ-5) kg, determine the acceleration of two blocks and the tension in the rope.(ʎ= the final two numbers of your ID +10, and, gravitational acceleration, g = 9.81 m/s2).
Ignoring friction, explain what would occur in the following situation and how it relates to Newton’s Third law.  a. A cannon shoots out a cannon ball.  Draw and label the action and reaction forces between the cannon and cannonball.    b. How does the cannon's acceleration compare to the cannon ball and why?
