37 Surface Forces An object on a desk or a person sitting on a chair is subject to an upward (perpendicular or normal to the surface) force due to the desk or chair

38 Surface Forces An object on a desk or a person sitting on a chair is subject to an upward (perpendicular or normal to the surface) force due to the desk or chair This type of force is known as the normal force, denoted by n, and adjusts itself so the object stays on the surface

39 Remember: Towing Car Example A car with a mass of 1500 kg is being towed at a steady speed by a rope held at a 20 angle from the horizontal. A friction force of 320 N opposes the car s motion. What is the tension in the rope?

40 Example 5.4: Tension in towing a car Here we found that the normal force adjusted itself due to the y-component of the tension in the rope n = w - T sinθ

41 Example 5.9: Normal force on a pressed book A 1.2 kg book lies on a table. The book is pressed down from above with a force of 15 N. What is the normal force acting on the book from the table below?

42 Example 5.9: Normal force on a pressed book A 1.2 kg book lies on a table. The book is pressed down from above with a force of 15 N. What is the normal force acting on the book from the table below? PREPARE The book is not moving and is thus in static equilibrium. We need to identify the forces acting on the book and prepare a free-body diagram showing these forces. These steps are illustrated in the figure.

43 Example 5.9: Normal force on a pressed book SOLVE Because the book is in static equilibrium, the net force on it must be zero. The only forces acting are in the y-direction, so Newton s second law is ΣF y = ma y

44 Example 5.9: Normal force on a pressed book SOLVE Because the book is in static equilibrium, the net force on it must be zero. The only forces acting are in the y-direction, so Newton s second law is ΣF y = ma y n w F =

45 Example 5.9: Normal force on a pressed book SOLVE Because the book is in static equilibrium, the net force on it must be zero. The only forces acting are in the y-direction, so Newton s second law is ΣF y = ma y n w F =

46 Example 5.9: Normal force on a pressed book SOLVE Because the book is in static equilibrium, the net force on it must be zero. The only forces acting are in the y-direction, so Newton s second law is ΣF y = ma y n w F = 0

47 Example 5.9: Normal force on a pressed book SOLVE Because the book is in static equilibrium, the net force on it must be zero. The only forces acting are in the y-direction, so Newton s second law is ΣF y = ma y n w F = 0

48 Example 5.9: Normal force on a pressed book SOLVE Because the book is in static equilibrium, the net force on it must be zero. The only forces acting are in the y-direction, so Newton s second law is ΣF y = ma y n w F = 0 n = w + F

49 Example 5.9: Normal force on a pressed book SOLVE Because the book is in static equilibrium, the net force on it must be zero. The only forces acting are in the y-direction, so Newton s second law is ΣF y = ma y n w F = 0 n = w + F We learned during last lecture that the weight force is w = mg, and we know what the force, F, is.

50 Example 5.9: Normal force on a pressed book The weight of the book is thus w = mg = (1.2 kg)(9.8 m/s 2 ) = 12 N

51 Example 5.9: Normal force on a pressed book The weight of the book is thus w = mg = (1.2 kg)(9.8 m/s 2 ) = 12 N With this information, we see that the normal force exerted by the table is n = w + F

52 Example 5.9: Normal force on a pressed book The weight of the book is thus w = mg = (1.2 kg)(9.8 m/s 2 ) = 12 N With this information, we see that the normal force exerted by the table is n = w + F = 12 N + 15 N = 27 N

53 Example 5.9: Normal force on a pressed book ASSESS The magnitude of the normal force is larger than the weight of the book. From the table s perspective, the extra force from the hand pushes the book further into the atomic springs of the table. These springs then push back harder, giving a normal force that is greater than the weight of the book.

59 QuickCheck Question 5.2 The box is sitting on the floor of an elevator. The elevator is accelerating upward.

Not enough information to tell Remember: apparent weight n = w + ma = wapp

60 QuickCheck Question 5.2 The box is sitting on the floor of an elevator. The elevator is accelerating upward.

Not enough information to tell Remember: apparent weight n = w + ma = wapp

61 QuickCheck Question 5.3 A box is being pulled to the right at steady speed by a rope that angles upward. In this situation: A. n > mg B. n = mg C. n < mg D. n = 0 E. Not enough information to judge the size of the normal force

64 QuickCheck Question 5.3 A box is being pulled to the right at steady speed by a rope that angles upward. In this situation: Remember: the towed car example A. n > mg n = w - T sin θ B. n = mg C. n < mg D. n = 0 E. Not enough information to judge the size of the normal force

65 Example 5.10: Acceleration of a downhill skier A skier slides down a steep 27 slope. On a slope this steep, friction is much smaller than the other forces at work and can be ignored. What is the skier s acceleration?

66 Example 5.10: Acceleration of a downhill skier A skier slides down a steep 27 slope. On a slope this steep, friction is much smaller than the other forces at work and can be ignored. What is the skier s acceleration? PREPARE We choose a coordinate system tilted so that the x-axis points down the slope. This greatly simplifies the analysis because with this choice a y = 0 (the skier doesn t move in the y-direction).

67 Example 5.10: Acceleration of a downhill skier A skier slides down a steep 27 slope. On a slope this steep, friction is much smaller than the other forces at work and can be ignored. What is the skier s acceleration? PREPARE We choose a coordinate system tilted so that the x-axis points down the slope. This greatly simplifies the analysis because with this choice a y = 0 (the skier doesn t move in the y-direction).

68 Example 5.10: Acceleration of a downhill skier SOLVE We can now use Newton s second law in component form to find the skier s acceleration: ΣF x = w x + n x = ma x ΣF y = w y + n y = ma y

69 Example 5.10: Acceleration of a downhill skier SOLVE Because the normal force, n, points directly in the positive y- direction, n y = n and n x = 0.

70 Example 5.10: Acceleration of a downhill skier SOLVE Because the normal force, n, points directly in the positive y- direction, n y = n and n x = 0. The angle between the weight, w, and the negative y-axis is the same as the slope angle θ. With this information, the components of w are w x = m g sin θ & w y = m g cos θ

71 Example 5.10: Acceleration of a downhill skier SOLVE With these components in hand, Newton s second law becomes ΣF x = mg sin θ = ma x ΣF y = mg cos θ + n = ma y = 0

72 Example 5.10: Acceleration of a downhill skier SOLVE With these components in hand, Newton s second law becomes ΣF x = mg sin θ = ma x ΣF y = mg cos θ + n = ma y = 0 The m cancels out in the first equation, leaving us with a x = g sinθ

73 Example 5.10: Acceleration of a downhill skier SOLVE With these components in hand, Newton s second law becomes ΣF x = mg sin θ = ma x ΣF y = mg cos θ + n = ma y = 0 The m cancels out in the first equation, leaving us with a x = g sinθ This is the expression for acceleration on a frictionless surface that we presented, without proof, in Chapter 3.

74 Example 5.10: Acceleration of a downhill skier SOLVE With these components in hand, Newton s second law becomes ΣF x = mg sin θ = ma x ΣF y = mg cos θ + n = ma y = 0 The m cancels out in the first equation, leaving us with a x = g sinθ This is the expression for acceleration on a frictionless surface that we presented, without proof, in Chapter 3. We can use this to calculate the skier s acceleration: a x = g sinθ = (9.8 m/s 2 ) sin 27 = 4.4 m/s 2

75 Example 5.10: Acceleration of a downhill skier ASSESS Our result shows that when θ = 0, so that the slope is horizontal, the skier s acceleration is zero, as it should be. Further, when θ = 90 (a vertical slope), his acceleration is g, which makes sense because he s in free fall when θ = 90. Notice that the mass canceled out, so we didn t need to know the skier s mass. We first saw the formula for the acceleration in Section 3.4, but now we see the physical reasons behind it.

116 QuickCheck Question 5.11 Consider the situation in the figure. Which pair of forces is an action/reaction pair? A. The tension of the string and the friction force acting on A B. The normal force on A due to B and the weight of A C. The normal force on A due to B and the weight of B D. The friction force acting on A and the friction force acting on B

117 QuickCheck Question 5.11 Consider the situation in the figure. Which pair of forces is an action/reaction pair? A. The tension of the string and the friction force acting on A B. The normal force on A due to B and the weight of A C. The normal force on A due to B and the weight of B D. The friction force acting on A and the friction force acting on B

118 Example 5.15: Pushing 2 Blocks The figure below shows a 5.0 kg block A being pushed with a 3.0 N force. In front of this block is a 10 kg block B; the two blocks move together. What force does block A exert on block B?

119 Example 5.15: Pushing 2 Blocks PREPARE The visual overview of the figure lists the known information and identifies F A on B as what we re trying to find. Following the steps of Tactics Box 5.2, we draw separate force identification diagrams and separate free-body diagrams for the two blocks.

120 Example 5.15: Pushing 2 Blocks The force is the contact force that block A exerts on B; it forms an action/reaction pair with the force that block B exerts on A. Notice that force is drawn acting on block B; it is the force of A on B. Force vectors are always drawn on the free-body diagram of the object that experiences the force, not the object exerting the force. Because action/reaction pairs act in opposite directions, force pushes backward on block A and appears on A s free-body diagram.

121 Example 5.15: Pushing 2 Blocks SOLVE We begin by writing Newton s second law in component form for each block. Because the motion is only in the x-direction, we need only the x-component of the second law. For block A, ΣF x = (F H ) x + (F B on A ) x = m A a Ax The force components can be read from the free-body diagram, where we see pointing to the right and pointing to the left. Thus Σ H F B on A = m A a Ax

122 Example 5.15: Pushing 2 Blocks For B, we have ΣF x = (F A on B ) x = F A on B = m B a Bx We have two additional pieces of information: First, Newton s third law tells us that F B on A = F A on B. Second, the boxes are in contact and must have the same acceleration a x ; that is, a Ax = a Bx = a x. With this information, the two x-component equations become F H F A on B = m A a x F A on B = m B a x

123 Example 5.15: Pushing 2 Blocks F H F A on B = m A a x F A on B = m B a x Our goal is to find F A on B, so we need to eliminate the unknown acceleration a x. From the second equation, a x = F A on B /m B. Substituting this into the first equation gives This can be solved for the force of block A on block B, giving

124 Example 5.15: Pushing 2 Blocks ASSESS Force F H accelerates both blocks, a total mass of 15 kg, but force F A on B accelerates only block B, with a mass of 10 kg. Thus it makes sense that F A on B < F H.

126 Interactions With Ropes Consider a box is pulled by a rope with tension, T Make the massless string approximation that m rope = 0

127 Interactions With Ropes Consider a box is pulled by a rope with tension, T Make the massless string approximation that m rope = 0 Newton s second law for the rope is thus ΣF x = F box on rope = F T = m rope a x = 0

128 Interactions With Ropes The tension, T, is the same from one end of the rope to the other

129 Interactions With Ropes The tension, T, is the same from one end of the rope to the other The pulling force does not change across the rope either

130 Interactions With Ropes The tension, T, is the same from one end of the rope to the other The pulling force does not change across the rope either The magnitude of the force pulling the string or rope is equal to the tension in the string
