Questions:
What happened to your applied force Fapp as you decreased the amount of water in the cup?
Assume the mass to be exactly equal to the mass of water. Calculate the normal force (FN) for 300 g, 150 g, and 100 g. Use these values to compute the ratio of the Applied Force (Fapp) to the Normal Force (Fn). Place these values in the rightmost column of Table 1.
What do these last two columns represent? What is the ratio of the normal forces F1 / F300? Compare this to your values for F2/ F150, and F3/F100. What can you conclude about the ratio between the Force Normal and the Force Friction?
FN= mg
FN (300 g) = _________kg

Explanation / Answer
1. What happened to your applied force Fapp as you decreased the amount of water in the cup?
The Fapp will decrease as the amount of water in cup decreases. Fapp = mass in cup(proportion
==================================
What can you conclude from this experiment?
FN= mg FN1 = ___0.3______kg 9.8 m/s2 = _____2.94 N______
FN2 = ___0.15______kg 9.8 m/s2
_____1.47 = N___
Why doesnt the normal force FN depend on the cup material?
4. Right as the cup begins to slide the applied force is equal to the force of friction draw a free body diagram sliding each type of cup (a total of three diagrams). Label the force due to gravity mg, the normal force FN, and the friction force Ff, but dont use any specific numbers.
===================================================================================
What makes this a state of equilibrium? 5. Does it take more force to slide an object across a surface if there is a high value of or a low one?
Yes it takes more force to slide an object across a surface if there is a high value of , we can use the table above to tell the difference. More force is required to move the same mass of bod
