Question: In this question consider the lawn mower as your system. a man pushes a 2 0 kilogram lawn mower with constant force L of 1
In this question consider the lawn mower as your system. a man pushes a kilogram lawn mower with constant force of newtons directed along the handle which is constantly at an angle of with the horizontal. The horizontal acceleration of the lawn mower along the ground is to the right as the lawn mower moves horizontally to the right along the ground. The lawnmower has no vertical acceleration. There is a h zontal frictional force f between the mower and the ground and the ground also exerts an upward normal force N on the mower.
A What is the weight, in newtons, of the lawn mower?
B Resolve the force, newtons that the man exerts on the lawn mower into horizontal and vertical components and respectively. Use this diagram.
C Isolate the lawn mower and draw its force diagram, showing all the forces acting on it In this diagram replace The mans force by its components and whose values you found in part B Remember to include and in the subsequent parts of this problem.
D Draw the acceleration diagram. Note that the value of was given above and that there is no vertical acceleration. In other words state the values of and
E USe to find the normal force exerted by the ground on the lawn mower.
F USe to find the frictional force exerted by the ground on the lawn mower.
G Find the coefficient of friction
H Find the total force, magnitude and direction, that the ground exerts on the lawn mower.
I. To how many gs does the lawn mower's acceleration of correspond?
