How much tension is in a rope that holds up 20-N bag of apples at rest?
The only way the bag of apples can have zero acceleration is that the sum of forces on it is zero. The 20-N downward gravitational force on it must be exactly canceled by some upward force of 20-N. That's the tension in the rope.
1 n-m to pound-in?
1 N is approximately .2248 pounds. 1 m is approximately 39.4 in. 1 N-m is approximately .2248 * 39.4 = 8.85 lb-in.
What do you multilpy or divide to convert pounds to ounces?
1 pound (lb) = 16 ounces (oz) Therefore n lb = n x 16 oz where n is the number of pounds. So if n = 5 pounds, that would be 5 x 16 oz or 80 oz
What is a product of m and n?
Oh, dude, a product of m and n is just the result of multiplying those two numbers together. It's like when you have m apples and n oranges, and you're too lazy to count them individually, so you just smash them together and get the total. So yeah, the product of m and n is just m times n. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
What is the definition of multiplication in physics as it is applied in Calculus and definition of units?
Dimensionally speaking multiplication corresponds to integration, and differentiation corresponds to division How does multiplication correspond to integration? i mean how come foot-pound & pound-foot is defined from the definition & meaning of multiplication then as what is the difference between foot-pound & pound-foot too from the definition of units? Aside from the fact that if differentiation corresponds to division, its inverse must correspond to the inverse of division, consider it this way. An integral from a to b is the area under the curve - which is the limit as you take many rectangles with a width (b-a)/n, and n is the number of rectangles, and a height f(x). The area of a given rectangle is f(x_o)*(b-a)/n, which is multiplication. The integral is the sum of many of these rectangles, and therefore also has units the same as the quantities multiplied.
