Entering an equipment rental store, a person is informed that the equipment is rated for weights up to and including 200 Newtons. If the person’s mass is 22 kilograms, can they use the rented equipment? Calculate and explain.

Answer»

Answer:

No, they cannot use the equipment.

Explanation:

Person's mass = 22kg

Acceleration DUE to gravity = 9.8m/s

The force that the person exerts on the equipment (F) = m*G = 22*9.8 = 215.6 Newtons

Since, the force exerted by the person on the equipment (215.6 Newtons) is GREATER than the rated force (200 Newtons), henceforth, the person is not ELIGIBLE to use the equipment!
