Determine the modulus of the reaction force exerted on a body weighing 3.5 tons.
| August 17, 2021 | education
Problem data: m (mass of a given body) = 3.5 t (in SI m = 3500 kg).
Reference values: g (acceleration due to gravity) ≈ 10 m / s2.
The modulus of the reaction force of the support will be equal to the weight of the given body (true for a horizontal surface): N = P = m * g.
Let’s perform the calculation: N = 3500 * 10 = 35 * 10 ^ 3 N (35 kN).
Answer: The modulus of the reaction force of the support is 35 kN.
