05: Newton's Laws of Motion
- #1A body of weight w1 is suspended from the ceiling of a room by a chain of weight w2. The ceiling pulls the chain by a force
(a) w1
(b) w2
(c) w1 + w2
(d)
w1+w22digAnsr: cAns : (c) w1 + w2

From the free-body diagram,
(w1 + w2) - N = 0
N = w1 + w2
The ceiling pulls the chain by a force (w1 + w2).
