Block and Cylinder on Yielding Floor
Newton's Laws Demonstration
Simulation Controls
Physics Analysis
Before floor yields: R = mg = 20 N (Block only)
After floor yields: ΣF = ma ⇒ 270 N - R' = 27 kg × 0.1 m/s²
Action of block on floor:
Before yielding: 20 N downward
After yielding: 267.3 N downward
Action-Reaction Pairs
- Block's weight (20N) and Earth's pull on block
- Normal force (R) and block's push on floor
- Cylinder's weight (250N) and Earth's pull on cylinder
- After yielding: System's push (267.3N) and floor's normal force
