Rahul sits in a chair reading a book. Which force is equal to the force Rahul exerts on Earth? Rahul’s weight the chair’s weight the sum of the weights of Rahul and the book the sum of the weights of the chair, Rahul, and the book

Respuesta :

The correct answer is

Rahul’s weight

In fact, the force Rahul exerts on Earth corresponds to the force of gravity. But Rahul's weight is, in fact, the force of gravity exerted by the Earth on Rahul, and these two forces correspond to the action-reaction pair of Newton's third law, which states that the two forces are equal.

Using formulas, Rahul's weight is equal to

[tex]W=mg[/tex]

where m is Rahul mass and g is the gravitational acceleration (g=9.81 m/s^2).

Newton's 3rd Law states that if object A exerts a force on object B, object B must respond with a force of equal size and in the opposite direction. Rahul exerts a force that is equal to the product of mass and gravitational acceleration.

What is Newton's third law of motion?

Newton's 3rd Law states that if object A exerts a force on object B, object B must respond with a force of equal size and in the opposite direction.

Forces always exist in pairs, and one body cannot exert a force on another without also mourning a force.

Rahul's force on Earth is the same as the force of gravity. However, Rahul's weight is the force of gravity forced on him by the Earth.

These two forces correspond to Newton's third law's action-reaction pair, which stipulates that the two forces are equal.

Hence Rahul exerts a force that is equal to the product of mass and gravitational acceleration.

F = W = mg
