Concept explainers
Propose a force standard different from the example of a stretched spring discussed in the text. Your standard must be capable of producing the sane force repeatedly.
To propose: a standard force that is different from the example of a stretched spring.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The force acting on a stretched string can be calculated by calculating the stretch produced in the string. Here, we need to propose a force standard which is different than this stretched spring.
The above figure shows the arrangement of Pascal’s law. When a force is applied on the beaker A, the water level of beaker B rises by a height h .
The pressure acting on the Beaker is given as
So,
V is the volume of liquid raised in the beaker B. So by using this standard, we can measure the forces acting on beaker A.

- Two objects get pushed by the same magnitude of force. One object is 10x more massive. How does the rate of change of momentum for the more massive object compare with the less massive one? Please be able to explain why in terms of a quantitative statement found in the chapter.arrow_forwardA box is dropped on a level conveyor belt that is moving at 4.5 m/s in the +x direction in a shipping facility. The box/belt friction coefficient is 0.15. For what duration will the box slide on the belt? In which direction does the friction force act on the box? How far will the box have moved horizontally by the time it stops sliding along the belt?arrow_forwardNo chatgpt pls will upvotearrow_forward
