In a try to test my knowledge of Newton's laws, I have posed the following question to myself.
My attempt:
(The arrows indicate direction.)
I have been informed that the solution is invalid, and that the question itself is wrong. Can you tell me why the problem is wrong/invalid?
Someone tried to explain to me, but I didn't really understand.
Object A | Object B | Object C
Object A pushes on B by an amount of 60N
Object B pushes on A by an amount of 30N
Object C pushes on B by an amount of 10N
What is the resultant force of each object?
My attempt:
(The arrows indicate direction.)
Considering A and B:
A pushes on B by 60, so F_AonB = 60→
B reacts on A by 60, so F_BonA = 60←
B pushes on A by 30, so F_BonA becomes 90←
A reacts on B by 30, so F_AonB becomes 90→
Considering B and C:
C pushes on B by 10, so F_ConB = 10←
B reacts on C by 10, so F_BonC = 10→
Considering A and B (after considering C on B):
B pushes on A by 100, so F_BonA = 100←
A reacts on B by 100, so F_AonB = 100→
Conclusion:
A pushes 100→
B pushes 100← and 10→
C pushes 10←
I have been informed that the solution is invalid, and that the question itself is wrong. Can you tell me why the problem is wrong/invalid?
