Chapter 7, Problem 7A
If the world pulls you downward against your chair, what is the reaction force?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The reaction force.
Answer to Problem 7A
The same force with which the world pulls us downward against our chair but in opposite direction.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
As per Newton’s third law of motion, for every force exerted there is an opposite and eqaul reaction force.
Now, if the world pulls us downward with a force against our chair, then an equal and opposite force must be acting as per Newton’s third law of motion. Thus, the reaction force for this applied force will be the equal and opposite of the force exerted by the world on us.
Conclusion:
Hence, the reaction force is of the same magnitude with which the world pulls us downward but it is in upward direction.

- Taking a Hike A hiker begins a trip by first walking 21.0 km southeast from her car. She stops and sets up her tent for the night. On the second day, she walks 46.0 km in a direction 60.0° north of east, at which point she discovers a forest ranger's tower. y (km) Can N W-DE 45.0° 60.0° Tent Tower B x (km) ☹ (a) Determine the components of the hiker's displacement for each day. SOLUTION Conceptualize We conceptualize the problem by drawing a sketch as in the figure. If we denote the displacement vectors on the first and second days by A and B, respectively, and use the ---Select-- as the origin of coordinates, we obtain the vectors shown in the figure. The sketch allows us to estimate the resultant vector as shown. Categorize Drawing the resultant R, we can now categorize this problem as one we've solved before: --Select-- of two vectors.
