Suppose a horse leans against a wall as in the figure below.
1.2 m
14 m
1
0.35 m
(0)
(a)
Calculate the force exerted on the wall assuming that force is horizontal and using the data in the schematic representation of the situation. Note that the force exerted on
the wall is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force exerted on the horse, keeping it in equilibrium. The total mass of the horse and rider is 575 kg. Take the
data to be accurate to three digits.

The force the horse and the rider exerts on the wall is equal to the weight combined acting in the opposite direction:

Force

Given Data

  • mass of horse and rider = 575kg
  • Force  acting on wall = ??

When a body of mass rests on a surface, it exerts a force equal to the weight of the mass but opposite in direct on the mass/object

hence the force is computed as

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 575 * 9.81

Force = 5640.75N
