Concept explainers

In nature, every object is attracted by every other object. This phenomenon is called gravity. The force associated with gravity is called gravitational force. The gravitational force is the weakest force that exists in nature. The gravitational force is…

Acceleration Due to Gravity

In fundamental physics, gravity or gravitational force is the universal attractive force acting between all the matters that exist or exhibit. It is the weakest known force. Therefore no internal changes in an object occurs due to this force. On the othe…

16. ao The drawing shows a rectangular piece of wood. The forces applied to corners B and D have the same magnitude of 12 N and are directed parallel to the long and short sides of the rectangle. The long side of the rectangle is twice as long as the short side. An axis of ro- tation is shown perpendicular to the plane of the rectangle at its center. A third force (not shown in the drawing) is applied to cor- ner A, directed along the short side of the rectangle (either toward B or away from B), such that the piece of wood is at equilib- rium. Find the magnitude and direction of the force applied to corner A. A D Axis Problem 16
