Question
Two racquetballs, each having a mass of 169 g, are placed in a glass jar as shown in in the figure below. Their centers lie on a straight line that makes a 45 angle with the horizontal.
P1 = N P2 = N P3 = N Two racquetballs, each having a mass of 169 g, are placed in a glass jar as shown in in the figure below. Their centers lie on a straight line that makes a 45 degree angle with the horizontal. Assume that the walls are frictionless and determine P1, P2, and P3. Determine the magnitude of the force exerted by the left ball on the right ball.Explanation / Answer
P1= mg=0.169*9.8=1.6562 N
P2= 2mg= 2*0.169*9.8=3.3124 N
P3= mg= 0.169*9.8=1.6562 N
Normal= sqrt(2)*mg= sqrt(2)*0.169*9.8=2.342 N
