Question
In the early spring of 1995 the quarterly Radcliffe College Alumni Magazine featured a cover story on working women in the ‘90s. The unusual cover depicts a young woman pushing on a glass ceiling. Assume that she is not moving. Give three reasons why the women’s position in this cover photo would be impossible. What physical laws or principles are being violated? How do you think this photograph might have been made?-(That is the easy part it is upside down the hard part is saying what laws are violated or not violated...)
Explanation / Answer
There is no force balancing the weight of her body. So there is net force acting on the body which is the weight.It must provide acceleration
It is violating Newton's law of motion
She has to rotate about the leg due to net torque . Again violating Newton's law of motion
