Common Forces
Physics 12
Joke of the day:
Not physics but still funny?
Review: Free-body diagrams:
Free-body diagrams are used to show the relative magnitude and direction of all forces acting on an object. What if some of the forces
were not in the x or y plane???????
Forces at angles:
We will break the forces with angles into their x and y components using trigonometry! AGAIN!
Fy = F sin θ
Fx = F cos θ
Example #1:
A 35kg sign is suspended by two wires that each make a 25° with the horizontal. Calculate the tension in each wire. Draw a FBD.

So what does that tell us?
Review: Normal force
is perpendicular to the surface of contact contact force exerted on an object For example, the surface of a floor or wall, preventing the
object from penetrating the surface.
Review: Force of friction:
Direction of Ff is always opposite to the direction of motion
Ff = µ FN
µ is the coefficient of friction (“stickiness value”, no units)

Day 2:
Inclined planes
Inclined Planes Choose the coordinate system with x in the same or opposite
direction of acceleration and y perpendicular to x. Draw it on the diagram!!!!!!!

Example #3:
A worker places a large plastic waste container with a mass of 84 kg on the ramp of a loading dock as shown in the figure. The ramp makes an angle of 22° with the horizontal. The workers turns to pick up another container before pushing the first one up the ramp.(a) If the coefficient of static friction
is 0.47, will the crate slide down the ramp? (b) If the crate does slide down, what will be its acceleration?
