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.

- Superman is applying a 17,000 N horizontal force to try and stop a speeding locomotive. This train has a mass of {9004} kg, it is on level, horizontal track, and gravity in Metropolis is 10 N/kg. The train is originally travelling at 25 m/s, and the brakes have failed. (Friction force is zero). Draw a Force Body Diagram of the train, labelling and calculating all forces. What is the acceleration of the train? How many seconds does it take for Superman to stop the train? How far does the train travel in that time?arrow_forwardA 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 block with a mass of 34 kg is moving at constant velocity because a force of 140 N is applied to the right at an upward angle of 24.8 degrees as shown.
