Piano Hanging ExampleCurrent Lecture: Newton’s Laws I. Newton’s First Law- An object maintains its velocity if no net force acts on it- This applies to objects at rest (v=0) and objects moving at constant velocity- A force does NOT have to be applied to KEEP an object in motionII. Inertial Reference Frame- A reference frame that is not accelerating- All observers in inertial reference frames agree with forces occurring thereIII. Force - Something that acts on an object and causes it to accelerate- Force is a vector and must be treated as such- Net force: Sum of all forces acting on an objectIV. Mass- Intrinsic property of a body, the amount of matter in an object- Mass is NOT weight. Mass is measured in kg.o Weight is a force measured in Newtons.- Mass determines how hard it is to accelerateo Large mass=hard to accelerate (more inertia)o Smaller mass=easier to accelerate (less inertia)V. Inertia- An object’s reluctance to change in motion- Property of an object to maintain velocityVI. Newton’s Second Law- Fnet = ma (force and acceleration are vectors)- Fnet is the sum of all external forces acting on a body- If F=0  a=0 V= constant or 0- When a force acts on an object it makes it accelerate in the same direction as the force- MASS – determines the magnitude of the acceleration- FORCE – determines the direction and the cause of accelerationVII. Newton’s Third Law- For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction-FAB= FBA- Forces are never isolated and always come in pairs- Note FAB means the force exerted on A by BVIII. Third Law ExampleEarth exerts gravitational force on you, you exert the SAME force (opposite direction) back on earth.- Because Mass of Earth > Mass of You, the acceleration of Earth is SMALLER compared to the acceleration you experience- Forces are the same, accelerations are not- Forces do not cancel, they act on different objectsIX. Units of ForceName/Symbol Units Mass Acceleration SystemNewton(N) Kg*m/s^2 Kg m/s2 SI System Pound (lb) Slug*ft/s^2 Slug Ft/s^2 Imperial SystemX. Examples of Forcesa. Weighto W= - mass *gravity j (vertical direction)o Due to gravitational attractionb. Normal Forceo Force perpendicular to surfacec. Frictiono Opposes acceleration/sliding motiono Due to surface contactd. Tensiono Force exerted by a taut cord/wire/rope/string/chaino Tension is always directed along the direction of the corde. Spring Forceo A restoring force that acts to bring the spring back to its original positionXI. Steps of Applications of Newton’s Laws1. Draw a picture of the system2. Focus on one object at a time3. Draw a free body diagram showing all forces acting on each object4. Choose a coordinate systema. Put one force parallel along an axis5. Apply Newton’s second law to each component in the system. The sum of all forces must equal mass* acceleration6. Include constraints7. Solve component equations for unknowns8. Check limiting casesXII. Piano Hanging Example2 people are holding a piano between 2 buildings by ropes- Ropes are not necessarily the same length- Find tension (T) in each rope1. Free body diagramWe know net force = 0 because it’s not accelerating2. Find x and y componentsX component: -T1sinθ+T2sinθ2 = max = 0  T2 = T1sinθ/sinθ2*Y component: T1cosθ + T2cosθ2 – w = 0  w=mg*substitute this T2 value equation into the Y component equationT1cosθ + (T1sinθ/sinθ2)*cosθ2 = mgSolve for T1T1 = mg/(cosθ + (sinθ/tanθ2))Solve for T2T2 = mg/((sinθ2/tanθ)+cosθ2)Note:If θ=θ2  T1=T2  = mg/2cosθIf θ=0  T1=mg T2=0  piano hangs straight down from one
