STATIC EQUILIBRIUM: Concurrent Force Systems

Q1: A 200 N force ( F ) is used to stabilize a system of pulleys within an industry’s weighing station. The system’s weighing receptacle is filled with a quantity of liquid that results in 150 N of force exerted in the vertical direction. If the pulley to the right is at a 20o angleContinue reading “STATIC EQUILIBRIUM: Concurrent Force Systems”

FORCE AND ACCELERATION: Pulleys, Tension, Friction, and Free-Body Diagrams

Q: Three objects are connected by ropes that pass over massless and frictionless pulleys. As the objects move, the table exerts a force of friction on the middle object. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.100. What is the acceleration of the three objects within the system? What is the magnitude of the tension inContinue reading “FORCE AND ACCELERATION: Pulleys, Tension, Friction, and Free-Body Diagrams”
