Pull Force Formula
The following equation is used to calculate the Pull Force.
Fp = m * a(p)
- Where Fp is the pull force (N)
- m is the mass of the object being pulled on (kg)
- a(p) is the acceleration of the object due to the pull force (m/s^2)
To calculate the pull force, multiply the acceleration due to pulling by the mass of the object.
What is a Pull Force?
Definition:
A pull force is a force that pulls on an object and causes it to accelerating in the same direction as the pulling.
How to Calculate Pull Force?
Example Problem:
The following example outlines the steps and information needed to calculate the Pull Force.
First, determine the mass of the object. In this example, the mass of the object is 5 kg.
Next, determine the acceleration caused by the pulling. For this problem, a tension pull force causes the object to accelerate at 3 m/s^2.
Finally, calculate the pull force using the formula above:
Fp = m * a(p)
Fp = 5 * 3
Fp = 15 N
