m= 1.45X10^6 kg
w=1.00X10^2 MJ
a=0 m/s^2
to over come the force resistance that was 2.00 percent of the building's weight
Homework Equations
Fa=Ff (force applied=force friction)
The Attempt at a Solution
Fa= Fn-Ff
Im confused on how to find the force friction, the Fn is 0 due to the fact that the acceleration is 0, but i have no clue how to find the Ff.
The force needed to overcome resistance in a building can be calculated by using the formula: F = m x a, where F is the force, m is the mass of the building (1.45 x 10^6 kg in this case), and a is the acceleration required to overcome the resistance.
The unit of measurement for force is Newtons (N).
The resistance of a building can be determined by considering factors such as the building's mass, structural design, and external forces acting on it (e.g. wind, earthquakes). It can also be measured using specialized equipment such as strain gauges and accelerometers.
Yes, the force needed to overcome resistance in a building can change over time due to various factors such as wear and tear, changes in external forces, and modifications to the building's structure.
The force needed to overcome resistance in a building is directly related to its structural integrity and safety. If the force exceeds the building's capacity, it could lead to structural failure and pose a safety risk to those inside and around the building.
