A tractor pulls a 150 kg rock to the right with a force of 1200 N against a force of friction of 750 N [left].

• Calculate the force of gravity on the rock

1 answer

The force of gravity on the rock can be calculated using the formula:

Force of gravity = mass * acceleration due to gravity

Given:
Mass = 150 kg
Acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

Force of gravity = 150 kg * 9.81 m/s²
Force of gravity = 1471.5 N

Therefore, the force of gravity acting on the rock is 1471.5 N.
