Chapter 2, Problem 11A
What is the angle between a support force and the surface on object rests upon?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The angle between a support force and the surface.
Answer to Problem 11A
The angle between a support force and the surface is
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Support force is the force that balances the weight of an object on the surface. It always acts in upward direction. It is also termed as the normal force.
Consider an object is at rest on the horizontal surface. The support force is equal to the weight of that object. The net force acting on the system is zero. Consider a sketch that represents the support force as shown below.
The angle between a support force and the surface of an objects rest upon is
Conclusion:
Thus, the angle between a support force and the surface of an objects rest upon is

Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion?
