Question

As it pulls itself up to a branch, a chimpanzee accelerates upward at 2.4 m/s2 at the instant it exerts a 260-N force downward on the branch.Find the magnitude of the force the chimpanzee exerts on the Earth.

Answer 1

`F=208.83N`

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Acceleration
`a=2.4m/s^2`

Force of Branch
`F=260N`

Generally the Newton's equation second law for Force is mathematically given by

`ma=F-mg`

`m=(260)/(2.4+9.8)`

`m=21.31kg`

Therefore

`F=mg`

`F=(21.31)(9.8)`

`F=208.83N`
