Practice Set 11

To achieve the overall goal, you must be able to:


define, identify and give characteristics of the “standard” forces:
Gravitational force; Magnetic force; Electrostatic force; Normal force; Frictional force; Tension force; elastic/ restoring force; Buoyant force; Wind
resistance; Applied force…
draw a free body diagram that includes

Arrows originating at the center of mass and pointing in the direction of the force

Labels that include the type of force, the agent and the recipient

Tally marks to show relative magnitudes of forces

identify and explain why/whether an object is at equilibrium or not

Write the net force equation and summation of forces

Section 1: Cataloging Forces and Visual Representations of Forces


At each station, perform the action described (if applicable) and determine the forces that are balancing out to keep
the object at rest. If you decide to leave a force blank, write N/A.

Station number, Object being Force type Description of what the force is “doing” to the object
description and analyzed and/or reacting to other forces.

Station 1 Force 1 Force of gravity pulls down


Block at rest on a
table

Force 2 Normal Force pushes up

Force 3 N/A

Station 2 Force 1 Force of gravity pulls down


Block hanging from a
string
Force 2 Tension Force pulls down

Force 3

Station 3 Force 1 Buoyant Force pushes up


Block floating in a
beaker of water

Force 2 Force of Gravity pulls down

Force 3 Normal Force pushes up


Station 4 Force 1 Magnetic Force pulls in
A magnet “stuck” to
a horizontal metal
ring stand
Force 2 Frictional Force pulls in

Force 3 Gravitational Force pulls down

Station number, Object being Force type Description of what the force is “doing” to the
description and picture analyzed object and/or reacting to other forces.

Station 5 Force 1 Gravitational Force pulls down


Block being dropped 1
meter

Force 2

Force 3

Station 6 Force 1 Elastic Force pulls up


Block hanging from a
rubber band

Force 2 Gravitational Force pulling down

Force 3

Station 7* Force 1 Frictional Force


A heavy mass being
pushed horizontally but
not moving
Force 2 Normal Force

Force 3 Gravitational Force

Force 4 Applied Force


Station 8* Force 1 Normal Force
A board eraser “stuck”
vertically on the board

Force 2 Gravitational Force

Force 3 Frictional Force

Force 4 Magnetic Force

Section 2: For the following scenarios, draw a free body diagram for the situation. Be sure to follow the rules for a
complete free body diagram (listed above). Then, add a plus or minus sign to each force vector.

1. A book at rest on a table

2. A blue book at rest on a table with a red book


on top of it.
(Draw the FBD for the blue book)

3. A disco ball hanging from a chain


attached to the ceiling.
(Draw the FBD for the disco ball, not the chain)

4. A boat at rest on the surface of a pond.


Section 3: For each of the free body diagrams completed above, circle whether the object is at
equilibrium or not and then write the net force equation (summation of forces). Each equation must
either be equal to 0, + or -

1. Equilibrium in the vertical? Yes No Equilibrium in the horizontal? Yes No


Net force equation (summation of forces)

2. Equilibrium in the vertical? Yes No Equilibrium in the horizontal? Yes No


Net force equation (summation of forces)

3. Equilibrium in the vertical? Yes No Equilibrium in the horizontal? Yes No


Net force equation (summation of forces)

4. Equilibrium in the vertical? Yes No Equilibrium in the horizontal? Yes No


Net force equation (summation of forces)

5. Equilibrium in the vertical? Yes No Equilibrium in the horizontal? Yes No

6. Equilibrium in the vertical? Yes No Equilibrium in the horizontal? Yes No

7. Equilibrium in the vertical? Yes No Equilibrium in the horizontal? Yes No


Net force equation (summation of forces)

8. Equilibrium in the vertical? Yes No Equilibrium in the horizontal? Yes No
