ACTIVITY 2.

Quantifying Forces (Fnet=0)

CN_____ Name ____________________________________ Section_______________ Date______________ INSTRUCTIONS: Use the idea of balanced forces--- all forces to the right must have the same magnitude as those to the left and all forces up must have the same magnitude as those directed downward. Remember: for an object to stay in constant speed or state of rest, the net is should be zero. Identify the magnitude of forces indicated.

FN=200N Ff=100N T2=100N

A 20-kg crate resting on a surface is connected to a 10-kg through a frictionless pulley as shown. The friction between the crate and the surface is enough to keep the system at rest. The arrows show the forces that act on the crate and the block. Fill in the magnitude of each forces.

Fg2=200N

T1=100N

Fg1=100N

Ff=185N

FN=181N T2=100N

Fg2=200N T1=100N

Fg1=100N

A 20-kg crate resting on a surface is connected to a 10-kg through a frictionless pulley as shown. The friction between the crate and the surface is enough to keep the system at rest. The arrows show the forces that act on the crate and the block. Fill in the magnitude of each forces. (the surface is inclined at 25o)
