A set of pulleys is used to lift a piano weighing 1000 newtons the piano is lifted?

You need to know the capacity of the pulleys. The pulleys need a total power of over 1000 newtons, if they do then you should be fine.


What is the mass of an object if the force of gravity acting on its mass is 1033 Newtons?

If we have a force acting on a body and we know what that force is, and we also know that the force is gravity, we can solve because we know the force gravity exerts on a mass. If we take the total force acting on the body and divide it by the force of gravity per one unit of mass, we can find the number of units of mass that cause gravity to act on the object. We have 1033 Newtons of force acting on the object. Gravity pulls down with a force of 9.8 Newtons on 1 kilogram of mass. Our 1033 Newtons divided by 9.8 Newtons per kilogram = 105.41 kilograms


A force of 800 newtons is needed to push a car across a lot 2 students push the car 40 meters How much total work do both students do?

Work done = Force x distance moved in the direction of force So work done = 15 x 20 = 300 joule That force 15 newton would be the necessary and equivalent force to overcome the static frictional force. Static frictional force depends, of course, on the mass of the box.


What equals the force exerted on a surface divided by the total area over which the forces are exerted?

Newtons/square meters.


What are 5 examples of unbalanced forces?

Anything that is accelerating or decelerating because it is only balanced when something is moving at a constant speed.


What is the force on an object that is pulled with 80 newtons to the right and 80 newtons to the left?

Take the sum of the forces on the object on the horizontal plane(x-direction) with the positive direction being to the right. The 80 newtons to the right is +80N and the 80 newtons acting to the left is -80N. Add them up, so 80N - 80N = 0 N. The total force acting on the object is 0.


What is the momentum law the states that the total momentum of an object is constant if no outside force acts on it?

Law of inertia? Newtons first law.

What equals force exerted on a surface divided by the total area over which the force is exerted?

That is called pressure. For example, the SI unit for pressure is the Pascal, which is equal to newtons / square meters.


What is the force exterted on a surface divideed by the total area over which the force is exerted?

The force exerted on a surface divided by the total area over which the force is exerted is the pressure. Pressure = Force / Area Pascals = Newtons/ square meters Pa = N/m^2 or psi = lb/in^2 (pounds per square inch)


Two forces act on the same object One force is pushing due east with a force of 6 newtons and the other is pushing due north at 8 newtons What is the resulting force?

The magnitude of the resulting force is 10 N. Because the forces are perpendicular, we can use Pythagoras' theorem:FT = SQRT ( F12 + F22 ) where:FT is the total force;F1 is the first force; andF2 is the second forceUsing this equation, we get:FT = SQRT ( 62 + 82 )FT = SQRT ( 36 + 64 )FT = SQRT ( 100 )FT = 10


What is the net force when the forces are balanced?

Balanced force means two forces are acting on opposite sides of body and that body doesn't change its position.Nothing. Zero newtons. Zilch :L
