Step 1
The weight of an object is given by the formula: Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity In this case, the mass of the generator is given as 160 kg. The acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s^2. Weight = 160 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 1568 N So, the Show more…

A block of mass m = 14.5 kg rests on an inclined plane with a coefficient of static friction of ÎĽs = 0.17 between the block and the plane. The inclined plane is L = 6.2 m long and it has a height of h = 3.2 m at its tallest point. What is the magnitude of the normal force, FN in newtons, that acts on the block? What is the component of the force of gravity along the plane, Fgx in newtons?

Calculate the force required to pull a stuffed toy duck (mass m = 1.70 kg) at a constant velocity of 3.8 m/s horizontally across the floor if the string is 44.0° above the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the duck and the floor is 0.65. An elevator motor moves a car with six people upward at a constant speed of 2.90 m/s. The mass of the elevator is 6.60 × 10^2 kg, and the average mass of a person on the elevator is about 76.0 kg. Calculate the electric power that must be delivered to lift the elevator car, assuming half of the necessary power delivered goes into thermal energy.
