Scales are intended to measure some downward force acting on the scale, which is the weight of the object placed on the scale to be weighed, but it is also true that the downward force is necessarily balanced by an equal and opposite upward force, otherwise the scale would be forced downward (which would be very awkward since it would break through the floor and create quite a mess).
Weight of the elevator = 1000kg x -9.8m/s2 = -9800N Upward force acting on the elevator = 1000kg x 2m/s2 = 2000N Net force = upward force - weight of elevator = 2000N - (-9800N) = 11800N
A spring force scale measures the downward pull on a spring exerted by a force, usually gravity acting on a weight.
Kilogram is the unit of MassNewton is the unit of ForceSince weight is a force, the SI unit of weight is the Newton1 kg is 9.8 Newtons of force being exerted on the earth's surface.
In mechanics, the force exerted upwards by the surface that a body sits on is equal and opposite to the force exerted downwards by that body and is referred to as the Ground Reaction Force (GRF) or simply Reaction.
It is a force which acts in the upward direction.
The upward force exerted by fluids is called buoyancy. It is dependent on the weight of the object in question.
The force is exactly equal to your weight.
The upward force exerted on an object in a fluid is buoyancy.
The upward force exerted on an object in a fluid is buoyancy.
upward acting force exerted by a fluid , that opposes an object's weight
Buoyancy is an upward thrust or force exerted by a fluid , that opposes an object's weight.
downward force
Buoyancy, which is an upward acting force exerted by a fluid , that opposes an object's weight.
buoyancy is the upward force that keeps things afloat. The net upward buoyancy force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of fluid displaced by the body. This force enables the object to float or at least seem lighter
Because your feet are not accelerating, the force exerted by the floor upon your feet must be exactly the same as the force exerted by your feet on the floor. If you are standing, the amount of force exerted by your feet, and thus the amount of force exerted by the floor, is equivalent to your weight.
Buoyancy is an upward acting force. It is caused by fluid preassure which opposes an objects weight ( their gravitational pull downwards ).
well The upward force of a liquid or gas on an object is called
