Concept explainers
Whether the bag holding groceries can hold it without ripping off.
Answer to Problem 19PP
Yes.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The mass of the groceries in the bag,
It is lifted from the counter at an acceleration of
Maximum force that the bag can withstand,
Formula used:
From Newton’s Second law of motion:
Where, a is the acceleration, m is the mass and
Calculation:
The force exerted by the groceries on the bag can be determined by using Newton’s second law.
As this force is less than the maximum force that the bag can with stand, therefore, the bag can withhold the groceries without ripping off.
Conclusion:
Yes, the bag can withhold the groceries without ripping off.
