Gravitational Force and Weight
Gravitational Force and Weight
Gravitational force
is the force that the Earth exerts on any
object. It is directed toward the center of the Earth.
The magnitude of the gravitational force is equal to the
product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

Normal Force
Tension
This is the force exerted by a rope or a cable attached to an object. Tension has the following
characteristics:
1.
It is always directed along the rope.
2.
It is always pulling the object.
3. It has the same value along the rope.
The following assumptions are made:
a.
The rope has negligible mass compared to the mass of the object it pulls.
b.
The rope does not stretch.
If a pulley is used, we assume that the pulley is massless and frictionless.

Unification of Fundamental Forces
Gravitational force is the force exerted by Earth on objects, directed towards the center of the Earth. Weight is the force required to prevent an object from falling freely. Explore the relationship between weight and mass, tension force, and motion of connected objects in this informative content. Discover the concepts behind normal force, tension force, and Atwood machine, and solve problems involving forces in physics. Learn about types of forces, including fundamental forces like gravitational force and non-fundamental forces related to electromagnetic interactions.

Gravitational Force and Weight Gravitational force is the force that the Earth exerts on any object. It is directed toward the center of the Earth. The magnitude of the gravitational force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity. The weightW of a body is the magnitude of the net force required to prevent the body from falling freely, as measured by someone on the ground. The weightW of a body is equal to the magnitude of the gravitational force on the body. A body s weight is related to the body s mass by,
Tension This is the force exerted by a rope or a cable attached to an object. Tension has the following characteristics: 1. It is always directed along the rope. 2. It is always pulling the object. 3. It has the same value along the rope. The following assumptions are made: a. The rope has negligible mass compared to the mass of the object it pulls. b. The rope does not stretch. If a pulley is used, we assume that the pulley is massless and frictionless.
Motion of Connected Objects m1= 10 kg m2= 8 kg a. b. What is the acceleration of the two carts? What is the net force acting on each cart?
