Block on an Inclined Plane ExampleCurrent Lecture: Forces and Free Body DiagramsI. Spring ForceIf a spring is stretched (made longer) or compressed (made shorter) from its equilibrium (normal position), it pulls or pushes back with a Force (Fs).- Restoring Force:Fs is a restoring force meaning it acts to restore the spring to its original position  this leads to oscillations back and forth*x position has opposite sign as FsII. Hooks Law- Spring force  Fs= -kx- K is a spring constant value units of Newtons per meter (N/m)- This law applies for small values of x, not so big that the spring bends and distortsIII. Gravity (Fg)- For us gravity on the surface of the earth is Fg* -mg- Fg decreases as we move away from Earth - Gravity on Earth is the same gravity throughout the solar systemIV. Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation- Any two masses in the universe attract each other with a force (gravity) that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to thedistance(r) squared between the two masses- If you have a sphere (aka a uniform circular mass) it attracts as if all mass were concentrated in the center (point mass)- We can use this to calculate the mass of spherical objects like planets- G = Newton’s Gravitational ConstantG= 6.67 * 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2Note: The force acts along the line “connecting”the two masses, forming an action/reaction pair.V. Calculate Mass Using Newton’s Law of GravityCalculate the mass of Earth. Earth’s surface radius (Re = 6.38*10^6)m.F=mg=Gm∗MeR2m cancelsF=Me=g∗R2GMe=9.8∗(6.38∗106)26.67∗10−11=radius of earth∗gravitygravitational constantMe=5.98 ∗1024kgVI. Tension CheckpointA box of mass is hung from an elevator accelerating upward. Whatis the T in the rope? T > mgThis is because the upward acceleration is making the box pulldown on the rope.T-mg = maT=a(m+g)VII. Spring CheckpointA box of mass is hung from a spring as an elevator acceleratesupward.  Spring gets longer, force increases This is because the box is pulling down on the spring Fs = m(a+g) Note: negative acceleration would make less tension and thespring would get shorted (ex if the elevator was acceleratingdownward)VIII. Elevator AccelerationYou are in an elevator and standing on a scale. You near the top as you slow down, the scale reads--? Less than your actual weight Why?N-mg = maN = m(g+a)N<NoIf a is negative g+a<gIX. Block on an Inclined Plane ExampleA block is on an inclined frictionless plane. Draw a free body diagram. Choose a convenientcoordinate system (align acceleration with axis)Force in X Direction: ax=- gsinθForce in Y Direction: y = -mgcosθ +N = m*ay = 0(Force in vertical direction is zero because blockdoesn’t jump off track)Limiting cases:Θ = 0° (flat plane)  sin0° = 0Θ = 90° (vertical plane)  then the box is in freefall at gaccelerationFree body diagram
