    Newton's Law question -> Tension

    Newton's Law question --> Tension Attached in this message is a question from my school pastpaper... I believe the answer is D... This is because I took John and Joan as one system... Therefore their mass is 130kg (together)... F = ma 100 = 130*a a = 0.77 each However, my teacher says...

    Newton's Second Law and a bathroom scale

    For lift accelerating upwards : T = mg + ma, therefore answer = 84*9.8 + 84*2 = 991 For lift accelerating downwards : T = mg - ma, therefore answer = 84*9.8 - 84*2 = 655

    Newton's Second Law and a bathroom scale

    This question has been troubling me... : A physics teacher decides to use bathroom scales (calibrated in Newtons) in an elevator. The scales provide a measure of the force with which they push up on the teacher. When the lift is stationary the reading on the bathroom scales is 823 N. What...
