What is the weight of a
46.2 gram bird?
m = 46.2 g = .0462 kg
F = ma, F = (.0462 kg)(9.8
N/kg)
= 0.453 N

Making to the right +
<+17.0 N – 9.0 N> = (5.0kg)a
8.0 N = (5.0kg)a
a = (8.0 N)/(5.0kg) = 1.6

a = 9.0 m/s/s
F = ma
Making to the right +
<+450. N + F> = (35.0kg)(+9.0
m/s/s)
450. N + F = 315 N
F = 315 N - 450. N = -135 N (to the

Find the acceleration:
3.0 N
5.0 kg
7.0 N
F = ma
Making to the right +
<7.0 N – 3.0 N> = (5.0kg)a
4.0 N = (5.0kg)a
a = .80 m/s/s
Find the acceleration:
3.0 N
23.0 kg
6.0 N
5.0 N
F = ma
<5.0 N – 3.0 N – 6.0 N> =
(23.0kg)a
-4.0 N = (23.0kg)a
a = -.1739 = -.17 m/s/s
Find the other force:
F = ??
452 kg
67.3 N
a = .12 m/s/s
F = ma
<67.3 N + F> = (452
kg)(.12 m/s/s)
<67.3 N + F> = 54.24 N
F = 54.24 N - 67.3 N
F = -13.06 = -13 N
A scalar is simply a number, a magnitude alone.
A force is usually shown as a vector, which includes both
magnitude and a direction.
Force (or free-body) diagrams show the relative magnitude
and direction of all forces acting upon an object. The object
must be isolated and “free” of its surroundings.

Calculate your weight in
Newtons.
HINT: You are going to
need to convert your
weight from pounds (lbs)
first…
This is a free-body diagram of the Statue
of Liberty. She is represented by a simple
box. The forces acting on her are labeled
with a magnitude and the arrow shows
direction. Notice the surrounding objects
are stripped away and the forces acting on
the object are shown.

W here represents the force of the weight
of an object.
W =2207250 N
N is the normal force, which represents
the force the ground is pushing back up
on the object.
N = 2207250 N

Think of the diagram on an XY
plane.
W = 496210 N
If “up” is assumed to be the positive
direction, then N is positive and W is
negative.
N = 496210 N

The forces acting on the object cancel each other out.
•We know F = m * a, where “a” is acceleration.
•If a = 0, then F = m * 0 = 0.
•When  F = 0, the object is not accelerating.
•We can then say that the forces acting on the
object cancel each other out and it is in a state of
static equilibrium.

What do each of the terms stand for?
•
Fnorm (Normal force) = ground reaction force.
always perpendicular to the ground. (N)
•
Fgrav
•
Ffriction
•
Fair
•
Ftens or T (Tension)- pulling force exerted by
(Weight)
(Friction)
(Air resistance) – force of the air friction

object

Class work.
Draw free body diagrams for the following scenarios.
1. A book is at rest on a tabletop.
A free-body diagram for this
situation looks like this:
2. A girl is suspended motionless
from the ceiling by two ropes. A
free-body diagram for this situation
looks like this:
4.
An egg is free-falling from a
nest in a tree. A free-body
diagram for this situation
looks like this:
5. A rightward force is applied to a
book in order to move it across a
desk with a rightward acceleration.
Consider frictional forces. A freebody diagram for this situation looks
like this:

in order to move it across a desk at
constant velocity. Consider frictional
forces. Neglect air resistance. A freebody diagram for this situation looks
like this:

upon his shoulder. The pack is
suspended motionless by one strap
from one shoulder. A free-body diagram
for this situation looks like this:
