Mrs. Moran and Mr. Moran decided to move the cabinet in their dining room. Mrs. Moran stood on one side, and Mr. Moran stood on the other. They each pushed
with 30 N of force. What was the net force on the cabinet?

60N

Explanation:

The net force on the cabinet is 60N.

 Net force is that single force that will act like all other forces on a body. The direction of the force and magnitude is very important when resolving forces.

  Force applied by Mrs. Moran  = 30N

  Force applied by Mr. Moran = 30N

                Since they each stood on both sides and pushed, the net force will be 30N + 30N  = 60N

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).

each chemical family is represented as a group or column on the periodic table. based on chemical properties, there are 6 types of chemical families. group 1 represents alkali metals, group 2 represents alkaline earth metals, groups 3 to 12 represent transition metals, groups 13 to 16 represent non-metals and other metals, group 17 represents halogens and group 18 represents noble gases.
