Force: is a push or a pull. • There are contact forces such as pushing, pulling, or friction. • There are field forces such as gravitation and electrostatics. • Force is measured in Newtons, N.
Force, Mass, and Acceleration • Isaac Newton’s 2nd law of motion states: the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force on an object and indirectly proportional to the acceleration of an object. That is, • a = Fnet / m • The net force, Fnet, is defined as the sum of all forces acting along a given line of action. • Example: 7N + -4N = 3N In this example, 3N is the net force.
Weight: is the attractive force between any mass and the mass of the earth. • Weight = mass x gravitational acceleration • FW = m g where g = -10 m/s/s So, the weight of 1 kilogram is -10 Newtons (N). • FW = m g • FW = (1 kg) (-10 m/s/s) = -10 N

A 2 kg hanging block accelerates the 8 kg block on the frictionless table. What is the acceleration of the two block system?
A 2 kg hanging block accelerates the 8 kg block on the frictionless table. What is the acceleration of the two block system? a = 20 N/10 kg = 2 m/s/s
A 2 kg hanging block accelerates the 8 kg block on the frictionless table. What is the tension in the string supporting the 2 kg mass?
A 2 kg hanging block accelerates the 8 kg block on the frictionless table. The tension, T, in the string on the 2kg mass F net = ma T - (2 kg)(10 m/s/s) = (2 kg)(-2 m/s/s) T = 20 N - 4 N T = 16 N
Find the rate of acceleration of the 8 kg and 2 kg blocks. What is the tension in the string?
The acceleration of mg is down (negative), while the acceleration of Mg is up (negative) as both are connected via the string. T T mg Mg Mg – T = Ma T – mg = ma Adding these yields: Mg – mg = (M + m) a a = g(M –m) / (M +m) so a =- 10 (6/10) = -6 m/s/s
The acceleration of mg is down (negative), while the acceleration of Mg is up (negative) as both are connected via the string. T T mg Mg To find the tension in the string ( which is the same throughout the string), we may use: T – mg = ma T = ma + mg T = m(a + g) = 2(-6 + 10) = 8 N Note: g is NOT -10 as the sign is part of the eqtn.
