Concept explainers
Draw separate free-body diagrams for each block and for the spring immediately after release. Indicate separately the vertical forces (perpendicular to the table top) and the horinra1 forces (parallel to the table top). Clearly label all forces.
Identify all the
The free body diagram of block and spring.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Newtonian mechanics states that force never occurs singly in nature. Force is the mutual interaction between two bodies. The mutual forces are always equal and opposite in direction.
When the block is being apart, the spring force is acting towards the equilibrium position, and the block is coming towards each other as the spring is compressed.
In the vertical direction, force is acting on the block due to gravity.
The free body diagram in the vertical direction is shown in figure 1.
Figure 1
The free body diagram in horizontal direction is shown in figure 2.
Figure 2
Conclusion:
Therefore, the free body diagram in the vertical and horizontal direction is shown in Figures 1 and 2 respectively.

- Directions: Solve the following problem about friction and tension. Use GRESA method. note: please thoroughly explain your answer and do not forget to follow the GRESA (Given, Required, Equation, Solution, Answer)! thank you Problem: A pot with a plant is hung from wires – 40o from the left, 30o from the right. What is the tension in each wire if the pot and the plant have a combined weight of 30 N? Ignore the weight of the wire.arrow_forwardTo be clear: You must write the words "Newton's Second Law" and point to an example of it within your solution! Write out the second law using symbols, not numbers. Writing "net force = m a" does not qualify because that could be written for any object. The symbols and subscripts should clearly refer to specific forces in each diagram. Examples, good and bad, of what might qualify are shown below. The following are three examples of Newton's second law written for an object called "E" (which is not in this question). Credit would be given for the first example but not for the second or third. This is a good example: mE g−TEJ sinθ1+NER cosθ2=mE a This is a bad example that is not specific enough: Σ FE=mE a This is a bad example with unspecified numbers and without symbols: (1.7 kg) g−(3.8 N) sin(59∘)+(4.9 N)cos(34∘)=(1.7 kg) a Once you have begun your solution with symbols in Newton's Second Law, you may begin to substitute numbers as needed.arrow_forwardA spring between two carts push them apart.
