Answer 1

go ahead and post

Answer 2

I'm guessing that the teacher is having you approximate g = 9.81 to g = 10 ?

Answer 3

Uhmmmm no problem we've done had used any g

Answer 4

so how did you calculate W = 500 N ?

Answer 5

Because the weight of the box is 50kg

Answer 6

Which is 500 N

Answer 7

it turns out that the acceleration of gravity is g = 9.81 m/s^2

some books like to round that to g = 10

the mass is m = 50 kg. The weight w is calculated by

w = m*g

w = 50*10

w = 500

so that's how a mass of 50 kg has a weight of approximately 500 N

Answer 8

Yeah I knew that

I jsut dont write it out

Answer 9

anyways, it looks like you have the correct force diagram assuming you have arrows for x and f
