A pencil weighing 1N is sitting on a desk.
Write down all the forces on the desk.
a.
b.
Draw a free body diagram of the desk.
c.
Add up the forces in the x-direction (horizontal) and the y-direction (vertical)

Respuesta :

The force diagram on the desk consists of normal reaction and weight of the pencil.

The net force on the desk in vertical direction is 1 N.

The net force on the desk in horizontal direction is 0.

The given parameters;

  • weight of the pencil, W = 1 N

The force diagram of the desk is sketched as follows;

                                             ↑ N

                                             ⊕

                                              ↓ W

Where;

  • N is the normal reaction on the desk
  • W is the weight of the ball

The net force on the desk in vertical direction = 1 N

The net force on the desk in horizontal direction = 0
