What force is exerted on the tooth in Figure 4.38 if the tension in the wire is 25.0 N? Note that the force applied to the tooth is smaller than the tension in the wire, but this is necessitated by practical considerations of how force can be applied in the mouth. Explicitly show how you follow steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for Newton's laws of motion.
Figure 4.38 Braces are used to apply forces to teeth to realign them. Shown in this figure are the tensions applied by the wire to the protruding tooth. The total force applied to the tooth by the wire, Fapp, points straight toward the back of the mouth.

- A horizontal force of 25 N is required to push a wagon across a sidewalk at a constant speed. What is the net (unbalanced) force acting on the wagon? What is the value of the force of friction acting on the wagon? If the force on the wagon increased to 30 N, use Newton's law to explain what the effect would be.arrow_forwardA loaded elevator with very worn cables has a total mass of 2200 [kg], and the cables can withstand a maximum tension of 28,000 [N]. Draw the free-body force diagram for the elevator. In terms of the forces on your diagram, what is the net force on the elevator?
