Question

in the free - body diagram shown above, which of the following is the gravitational force acting on the car?
a. 775 n
b. 14 700 n
c. 13 690 n
d. 5800 n

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the direction of gravitational force

Gravitational force acts downward.

Step2: Identify the downward - acting force in the free - body diagram

Among the given forces \(13690N\) acts upward (normal force), \(5800N\) and \(775N\) are horizontal forces (probably frictional and applied forces), and \(14700N\) acts downward.

Answer:

B. \(14700N\)
