Three sets of double boxes rest on a table.
Rank the following from greatest to least.
a. the normal force that the table exerts on the sets.
b. the normal force exerted by the bottom block on the top block
(a)
The rank of the normal force that the table exerts on the sets from greatest to least.
Answer to Problem 21A
The rank of the normal force that the table exerts on the sets from greatest to least is A=B=C.
Explanation of Solution
Formula used:
The expression for the normal force as follows:
Here,
Calculation:
Consider the acceleration due to gravity as
Sketch the Free Body diagram of the sets as shown in figure.
Refer to figure:
The normal force on set A as follows:
The normal force on set B as follows:
The normal force on set C as follows:
Conclusion:
Thus, the rank of the normal force that the table exerts on the sets from greatest to least is A=B=C.
(b)
The rank of the normal force exerted by the bottom block on the top block from greatest to least.
Answer to Problem 21A
The rank of the normal force exerted by the bottom block on the top block from greatest to least is
Explanation of Solution
Formula used:
The expression for Newton’s second law of acceleration as follows:
Here,
Calculation:
Consider the acceleration due to gravity as
Sketch the Free Body diagram of the force by the bottom block on the top block as shown in Figure.
For the two block system:
Refer to Figure:
The normal force on set A as follows:
The normal force on set B as follows:
The normal force on set C as follows:
Conclusion:
Thus, the rank of the normal force exerted by the bottom block on the top block from greatest to least is

- Plz plz no chatgpt pls will upvote .arrow_forwardYou want to determine if a new material created for solar panels increases the amount of energy that can be captured . You have acquired 15 panels of different sizes manufactured with different materials including the new material.You decide to set up an experiment to solve this problem .What do you think are the 3 most important variables to address in your experience? How would you incorporate those materials in your experiment?arrow_forwardNo chatgpt pls will upvotearrow_forward

It has been proposed to account for the apparent and uncanny fine tuning of our own universe. The idea of the multiverse is that there are infinite, distinct universes out there - all with distinct laws of nature and natural constants - and we live in just one of them. Using the accepted definition of the universe being all that there is (matter, space and energy), would you say that multiverse is a scientific theory?arrow_forward

A nurse uses the syringe to inject medicine into a patient whose blood pressure is 140/100. Part A What is the minimum force the nurse needs to apply to the syringe? Express your answer with the appropriate units. View Available Hint(s)for Part A Hint 1for Part A. How to approach the question The force the nurse applies to the syringe can be determined from the fluid pressure and the area of the plunger. The minimum force corresponds to the patient's lowest blood pressure.
