Weight and Normal Force
If you stand on a scale, what force
does a scale measure? (N or W)
N
It measures the normal force
between you and the scale.
This equals the weight by
Newton’s second law – provided
you are in an inertial reference
frame.
W
N+W=0

Weight in an Elevator
a = 2.2 m/s2
An elevator accelerates
upward at 2.2 m/s2.
What does the passenger
apparently weigh, as
measured by the scale in
the elevator, if his mass is
100 kg?

Weight in an Elevator
A net force on the passenger
causes the upward
acceleration:
a = 2.2 m/s2
N
F = N – W = ma.
W = mg.
N = ma + W = m(a+g)
= (100 kg)(12.0 m/s2)
= 1200 N.

Tension
Pulling on a rope applies tension. The force
always acts along the rope if it is free to bend.

Measuring Tension
The magnitude of the tension in the rope shown
is the magnitude of the force F pulling on it,
which is also what would be reading on the
balance..

Pulleys
Pulleys can be used to
redirect tension. Tension
always follows the string.
If the pulley does not resist
the motion of the string, it
is said to be frictionless.
If the pulley is frictionless,
and massless then the
magnitude of the tension
is the same on both sides.
Otherwise, T1

Friction
If I push on an object and it doesn’t move, it means
another force is pushing back to balance my
force: static friction.

At some point, if I push hard enough the object will
start to move. This limit to the amount of force
friction can supply turns out to be proportional to
the normal force.

normal force, but with a smaller coefficient.
