Bag of potatoes at rest
What forces are acting on the bag of potatoes, and what are their relative magnitudes and directions?
А
The force of gravity on the potatoes and the force of the hook. The force of gravity is larger than the force of the hook. The force of gravity points downward and the force of the hook
points upward
B
The force of gravity and the force of the bag. The force of gravity is exactly balanced by the force of the bag. The force of gravity points downward and the force from the bag points
upward
The force of gravity is pulling the potatoes and the bag. The force of gravity is directed downward toward the ground. No other forces are acting on the potatoes
D
The bag is pulling upward on the potatoes. Because the bag is not moving, no other force is acting on the potatoes
