Estimate the mass in kilograms and the weight in pounds of a typical sumo wrestler. How do your estimates for the wrestler compare to your estimates of the average mass and weight of the students in your physics class? Do a web search if necessary to help make the estimates. In your solution list what values you assume for the quantities you use in making your estimates.
Assume that all quantities are good to 3 significant figures...do not start rounding off too early or too much! All numeric answers should be entered rounded to 3 significant figures and assuming proper SI Units unless otherwise stated.
Consider just these 2 forces acting on a mass of 2.79 kg. F1 = 8.36 N @ 21.5 degrees and F2 = 6.80 N @ 76.7 degrees where the angles are measured relative to the +x direction. What is the magnitude of the acceleration produced considering only these 2 forces acting?
