Question

the force of the floor on the 1 block, . Assume the elevator is at rest. Rank the magnitude of the forces from largest to smallest Assume the elevator is at rest. Rank the magnitude of the forces from largest to smallest Three blocks are stacked on top of each other inside an elevator as shown in the figure. Answer the following questions with reference to the eight forces defined as follows. the force of the 3 block on the 2 block, , the force of the 2 block on the 3 block, , the force of the 3 block on the 1 block, , the force of the 1 block on the 3 block, , the force of the 2 block on the 1 block, , the force of the 1 block on the 2 block, , the force of the 1 block on the floor, , and the force of the floor on the 1 block, .

Explanation / Answer

1 on floor and floor on 1 (equal and opposite forces, also the force of the floor on the 1 block must support the weight of the upper blocks) 1 on 2 and 2 on 1 2 on 3 and 3 on 2 Forces such as 1 on 3 do not exist and are zero The only force on the 3 block is that due to the 2 block
