  1. Chapter Five: Forces • 5.1 Forces • 5.2 Friction • 5.3 Forces and Equilibrium

  2. Chapter 5.3 Learning Goals • Determine the net force acting on an object. • Define equilibrium. • Draw free-body diagrams to represent all forces acting on a body.

  3. 5.3 Forces and Equilibrium • The sum of all the forces on an object is called the net force. • The word net means total but also means the direction of the forces has been taken into account. In what direction will this plane go?

  4. 5.3 Adding forces • To figure out if or how an object will move, we look at ALL of the forces acting on it. • Four forces act on a plane: • weight • drag (air friction) • the thrust of the engines, and • the lift force caused by the flow of air over the wings.

  5. 5.3 Equilibrium When several forces act on the same object: • The net force is zero, or • The net force is NOT zero.

  6. 5.3 Normal forces • When the forces are balanced, the net force is zero. • When the net force on an object is zero, we say the object is in equilibrium.

  7. 5.3 Equilibrium and normal forces • A normal force is created whenever an object is in contact with a surface. • The normal force has equal strengthto the force pressing the object into the surface, which is often the object’s weight. The normal force is sometimes called the support force.

  8. 5.3 The free body diagram • How do you keep track of many forces with different directions? • Draw a free-body diagram that contains the objects, like a book on a table.

  9. 5.3 Solving equilibrium problems • For an object to be in equilibrium, all the forces acting on the objectmust add up to zero. Is this object in equilibrium?

  10. Solving Problems Two chains are used to support a small boat weighing 1,500 newtons. One chain has a tension of 600 newtons. What is the force exerted by the other chain?

  11. Solving Problems • Looking for: • …tension on chain 2 • Given • …weightboat = 1,200N; tension1 = 600 N • Implied: weight and tension are forces • Relationships: • Net force on boat = zero

  12. Solving Problems • Solution: • Draw free body diagram • Upward force of chains = weight of boat • 600 N + tension2 = 1,200 N • tension2 = 900 N
