Question

In our usual coordinate system( +x to the right, +y up (away from the center of the Earth), +z out of the page toward you), what is the vector gravitational force on a 31 kg object sitting on the ground? (From the momentum principle you can conclude that a force of the same magnitude is exerted upward by the ground on the object if the momentum isn’t changing. In Chapter 4 we’ll see more about the origin of this force.)

    Answer:

    The vector gravitational force is  W = 303.8\  N( -y)

    Explanation:

    From the question we are told that

          The mass of the object is  m  = 31 \ kg

          The acceleration due to gravity experienced by the object is g =  9.8 m/s^2

    Generally the vector gravitational force on the object is mathematically represented as

                           W = 31 *  9.8

                           W = 303.8\  N (-y)

    The  -y indicates that the direction of the force is towards the center of the earth
