Question:
A dishonest grocer installs a 100-kg lead block under the pan of his scale. How much gravitational force does the lead exert on 2 kg of cheese placed on the pan if the centers of mass of the lead and cheese are 0.3 m apart?
Compare this force with the weight of 1 g of cheese to see if putting the lead under the scale was worth doing.
Step by Step Answer:
In the figure below the two masses in question are drawn Using Newtons Law of Grav...View the full answer

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
