The First Law states that for a body to maintain its state of motion
(no acceleration) there must be no net force acting on it. In symbols.

F = 0
For a net force to be zero, the components of the net force must all
be zero.

 Fx  0 and  Fy  0

Static equilibrium means equilibrium of objectives that are at rest.

Example #1
Given: mass of book = 50.0g or 0.0500kg W
Find: Normal force, N
Solution: or
W=mg= 0.05000kg N
Fx = 0 N W
N
N- w=0
N=w
N = 0.490 N Therefore, the table
also exerts a force equal
W to 0.490 N
 Finding The tension on both wires
Example #2 15.0 15.0 T T
15.0 15.0
Given: m = 1.50kg
Find: T1 and T2
Solution: W
W=mg= 0.05000kg
Fx = T1 cos 15.0= 0 2
W = 1.50 kg x 9.80 m/s = 15.7 N
T1 = T2
Fx = T1 sin 15.0= 0 + T2 sin 15.0 -W = 0 Force X- component Y - component
Since T1 = T2 = T T1 T1cos15.0=0 T1sin15.0
2Tsin 15.0 = W
Therefore, the tension
T = w/ (2sin 15.0 ) on both wire are equal
T2 T1cos15.0 T2sin15.0

T = 14.7N (2sin 15.0 ) T1= T2=28.4N

The second law discusses motion with acceleration. This can only
happen if there is a net force.
F = 0
Where:
The net force is equal to mass multiple with acceleration.

F = ma
ax = acceleration along the X –axis
There are three possible ways to have a net force equal to ma.
ax = acceleration along the Y –axis
Case 1: Case 2: Case 3:
Fx = max Fx = 0 Fx = max
Fy = 0 Fy = may Fy = may
Example: Find the acceleration of the two block if the surface is frictional.

Given:
B

A
m = 150 kg

Find: Acceleration, a
Solution: Since the tension is equal,
FBD of block A FBD of block B
T=T
T WB a (35.0 kg)a = (15.0 kg) (9.80m/s2) – (15.0 kg)a
(35.0 kg)a + (15.0 kg) a = (15.0 kg) (9.80m/s2)
a T (50.0 kg)a = 147kg m/s2
a = (147kg m/s2) /50.0 kg
WA a = 2.94. m/s2
N
Using FBD of A Using FBD of B The acceleration for both block is 2.94 m/s2
Fx = ma
Fx = ma T = ma = m (-a)
T - WA = m (-a) T = (35.0 kg) a
T = WA–ma
T = (15.0 kg ) (9.80 m/s ) - (15.0 kg) a
