Use the following scenario to answer the question.The desk for Caron’s new office weighs 500 Newtons. What would be the impact of an applied force that pushes from below at 475 Newtons?
The impact of the applied force that pushes from below at 475 Newtons would be to lift the desk off the ground by a small amount, reducing the overall weight of the desk on the floor to 25 Newtons.
To determine the impact of an applied force that pushes from below at 475 Newtons on the desk, you would subtract the applied force from the weight of the desk.
Step 1: Subtract the applied force from the weight of the desk
500 Newtons (weight of the desk) - 475 Newtons (applied force) = 25 Newtons
Therefore, the impact of the applied force of 475 Newtons from below would result in a net force of 25 Newtons pushing the desk downwards.
