A giant crane in Washington DC was tested by lifting a 2.232x10^6 kg load. Find the magnitude of the force needed to lift the load with a net acceleration of 0m/s^2
Since you are not accelerating, you need a force equal to the weight, M g.
To find the magnitude of the force needed to lift the load with a net acceleration of 0 m/s², we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force is equal to the mass multiplied by the acceleration.
In this case, the acceleration is 0 m/s², so the force required to lift the load is:
Force = mass x acceleration
Force = 2.232 x 10^6 kg × 0 m/s²
Force = 0 N (Newtons)
Therefore, the magnitude of the force needed to lift the load with a net acceleration of 0 m/s² is 0 Newtons. This means that no force is required to keep the load in equilibrium or to prevent it from falling.
