A small stone of mass m = 200 g is held under water in a tall jar and is allowed to fall as shown in the figure. The free body diagram of the stone is also shown:
 

i) What do F2 and m1 represent?

ii) Calculate the net force acting on the stone and

iii) its acceleration as it falls through water. (Neglect the force due to viscosity. Take the volume of the stone as 80 cm3, density of water as 1.0 g/cm3 and acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s2




i)

Here in this case,

F2 represents the upthrust and m2 represents the mass.

ii)
True weight = mg = equals 200 over 1000 x 10 space equals space 2 space N space
Upthrust = vdg = Error converting from MathML to accessible text.

Therefore,

Net force = 2 N – 0.8 N = 1.2 N

iii) Acceleration, a = Error converting from MathML to accessible text.

When a body is placed on a table top, it exerts a force equal to its weight downward on the table top but does not move or fall.
i) Name the force exerted on the table top.
ii) What is the direction of the force? 


i) Normal reaction force

ii) The force acts normal to the surface of the table top i.e., opposite to the direction of the force due to the weight of the body.

State Newton’s second law of motion both in words and in equation form. Under what condition does this equation become F = ma?


Newton’s second law of motion states that the rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the force applied on the body and it takes place in the direction of the force. 

Rate space of space change space of space momentum space equals space fraction numerator straight capital delta P over denominator straight capital delta t end fraction equals fraction numerator straight capital delta space left parenthesis m v right parenthesis over denominator straight capital delta t end fraction equals fraction numerator m straight capital delta v over denominator straight capital delta t end fraction equals ma equals straight F 
Thus, it becomes equal to ma when mass is constant.
