The discussion revolves around determining the natural force acting on a 25kg block that is at rest. The subject area includes concepts from mechanics, specifically relating to force and mass.
The discussion is ongoing, with participants exploring the definition of natural force and questioning the units of force. Some guidance has been offered regarding the correct unit of force, but no consensus has been reached on the interpretation of the term "natural force."
There appears to be some confusion regarding the terminology used in the problem, particularly the phrase "natural force," which has not been clearly defined by the original poster.
Looks OK to me. Is there any information you left out?Angieesaurus said:What is the natural force of a 25kg block that is not moving?F=ma, g=9.81m/s^2
Attempt:
(25kg)*(9.81m/s^2)= 245.25kg ?

Newtons?SteamKing said:kg * m/s^2 = kg? I don't think so. What is the unit of force in the SI system?
