Question

Three bricks are pilled upon a table, each of mass 1.5kg. Calculate the amount of forces acting on the table ( g = 10m/s)

Answer 1

Answer:

Force acting on the table = 45 N

Explanation:

Mass of 1 brick = m = 1.5 kg

Acceleration = a = g = 10 m/s²

We know that,

Force = Mass * Acceleration

F = ma

F = mg

Therefore,

Force due to 1 brick = mg

F = 1.5 * 10

F = 15 N

Hence,

Force due to 1 brick = 15 N

Force due to 3 bricks = 15 * 3 = 45 N
