-
either I will know the force or I will know the acceleration.
-
So, if this is 0, I come to the conclusion N = m · g.
-
This is a very simple example,
-
but this is how you figure out
-
how the Newton's Laws work in this particular problem.
-
Okay, now I'm ready to introduce another force,
-
and that's the force of friction.
-
As you all seem to be aware,
-
there is generally a force of friction
-
between this mass m, and this table.
-
So, how do we learn there is a force of friction?
-
Suppose someone said, "How do you know there is friction?"
