Please explain how to create a force diagram and handwritten response for each prompt. I want to check my work.


Weighing a Box Practice Problem A heavy box is on a scale on the oor. The scale reads 400 N. (a) Draw a force diagram for the box. Label all forces. (b) Draw a force diagram for the scale. Label all forces. (c) Short answer. Explain in a sentence or two which force (the type and origin of the force) is the scale directly measuring when it reads 400 N? By \"directly measuring\" we mean acting on the scale itself. (d) Sam ties a rope to the box and pulls straight up on the rope. The maximum force he can apply is 250N upward. Draw a force diagram for the box. (e) What does the scale read as Sam is pulling up on the rope? F = 250 N T T = F = 25 ON ( tension in the pope ) . from above weight W ways w= 4100 Newh/megusled by scale Now normal will change due to pulling upward by Sam . T+ N = W 250 + N' = 400 N' = 400 - 250 N1 = 150 Now reading of scale is '150 Newton" Because the scale will read only normal force
