The ratio of circumference/diameter for all circles is
Ratio of force to mass for all free falling body.
Answer to Problem 14A
Ratio of force to mass for all free falling body is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Ratio of circumference to diameter for all circles is
Formula Used:
From Newton’s second law, the net force is given as
Where,
Calculation:
For a free falling body, the above relation modifies as
Where,
Now, ratio of force to mass is
It is acceleration due to gravity.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the ratio of force to mass for all free falling body is
