Question

A uniform, 90.0-N table is 3.6 m long, 1.0 m high, and 1.2 m wide. A1500-N weight is placed 0.50 m from one end of the table, a distance of 0.60 m from each of the two legs at that end. Express your answer using two significant figures. F = 670 N Your answer 659 N was either rounded differently or different number of significant figures than required for this part. Find the force that each of the two farthest from the weight legs exerts on the floor. Express your answer using two significant figures.

Explanation / Answer

Since the weight is placed at the centre of the table the total weight (of the table and the weight) is placed equally on the four legs.
So, force exerted by any leg = total weight / 4 = 1590/4 = 397.5N
