Key Terms
newton, - N, unit of force in the metric system

- force needed to push a 1kg object at a speed of
1m/s for a second.
mass, in physics, the quantity of matter in a body

regardless of its volume or of any forces acting on it.
weight, measure of the force of gravity on a body

What does gravity have to do with the weight of an
object?
Weight (W) varies depending upon the location of the
body in the earth's gravitational field (or the gravitational
field of some other astronomical body).
The acceleration of gravity on earth is approximately:
9.8 m/s² in SI units and
32 ft/s² in US Customary units.
To calculate the weight of an object you have to multiply

it’s mass times the acceleration of gravity.
W = m * g
The Statue of Liberty has a mass of 225,000
kg. How much does she weigh?
To calculate the weight of an object you have to
multiply it’s mass times the acceleration of
gravity.
Write the formula: W = m * g
Substitute known values: W = (225,000 kg) * 9.8 m/s²
Present solution with units: W = 2,200,000 N
What the heck is 2,200,000 N?
The Statue of Liberty weighs 2,207,250 Newtons, which is

495,000 lbs pounds!
A free-body diagram illustrates the
relative magnitude and direction of all
forces acting upon an object. The object
must be isolated and “free” of its 496210 lb
surroundings.
This is a free-body diagram of the Statue of Liberty. She is

represented by a simple box. The forces acting on her are
labeled with a magnitude and the arrow shows direction.
Notice the surrounding objects are stripped away and the 496210 lb
forces acting on the object are shown.
“FW” here represents the force of the weight of the statue.
“FN” is the normal force, which represents the force Liberty
F = 495,000 lb
W
Island is pushing back up on the statue.
Normal: means perpendicular to, (ex. The walls to the

floor)
The force of the pedestal to the statue is normal FN = 495,000 lb
to the surface of the ground.
The island has a great resistance to compression.

The ground is exerting a force upward on the
statue perpendicular, or normal, to the surface.
Think of the diagram on an XY
plane. (Positive y-direction)
+y
If “up” is assumed to be the
positive direction, then N is FW = -495,000 lb
positive and W is negative.
•When forces acting on the object

cancel each other out it is in a state
FN = 495,000 lb
of static equilibrium.
