Question

Draw a free body diagram of an 6.4 kg ball falling towards earth. Calculate the weight of the ball.​

Answer 1

Diagram:-

`\setlength{\unitlength}{2mm}\begin{picture}(0,0)\thicklines\put(3,6){\circle{3}}\put(2.9,4.5){\vector(0,-3){2cm}}\put(-3.9,-10){\line(3,0){3cm}}\multiput(-3.5,-10)(0.8,0){18}{\line(1,-2){2mm}}\put(-3.7,0){$\sf\footnotesize 9.8 ms^(-2)$}\put(6,0){\vector(0,3){1.2cm}}\put(5.5,6){\line(3,0){2mm}}\put(5,-1.2){\sf\footnotesize height}\put(6,-2){\vector(0,-3){1.2cm}}\put(5.5,-8){\line(1,0){2mm}}\end{picture}`

Here

• m=6.4kg

`\\ \sf\longmapsto Weight=mg`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto Weight=6.4(9.8)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto weight=62.72N`
