The bearing consists of rollers, symmetrically confined within the housing. The bottom one is subjected to a 125-N force at its contact A due to the load on the shaft. Determine the normal reactions NB and NCon the bearing at its contact points B and C for equilibrium.
Solution:
Free-body diagram of the roller:
Equations of Equilibrium:
Note that if we take the sum of forces in the x-direction, there are two unknown forces involve, but if we take the sum of forces in the y-direction, there is only one unknown force involve.
Now, we have two equations with two unknowns F1 and F2. So, we have a system of two equations. We can solve this using algebra, or we can directly use our calculator with this capability. The answers are
What is the weight in newtons of an object that has a mass of (a) 8 kg, (b) 0.04 kg, and (c) 760 Mg?

Solution:
Part A: To convert the given mass in kilogram to newton force, we simply need to multiply by the acceleration due to gravity of 9.81 m/s2. We need to take into account that 1kg m/s2=1N.
8kg=8kg×9.81m/s2=78.48N
Part B: Using the same principle from Part A, we have
0.04kg=0.04kg×9.81m/s2=0.3924N
Part C: So, we are given 760 Mg (megagram). We know that 1 Mg is equivalent to 1000 kg. Therefore, 760 Mg is equal to 760,000 kg. Therefore, we have
