6-The Bernoulli effect can have important consequences for the design of buildings. For example, wind can blow around a skyscraper at remarkably high speed, creating low pressure. The higher atmospheric pressure in the still air inside the buildings can cause windows to pop out.

SOLVE IT
Conceptualize The mass of the space station is fixed; it is independent of its location. Based on the discussion in this section, we realize that the value of g will be reduced at the height of the space station's orbit. Therefore, its weight will be smaller than that at the surface of the Earth.

Tutorial Exercise
In the system shown in the figure below, a horizontal force x acts on an object of mass m2 = 7.05 kg. The horizontal surface is frictionless. Consider the acceleration of the sliding object as a function of Fx.
(a) For what values of Fx does the object of mass m1 = 3.75 kg accelerate upward?
(b) For what values of Fx is the tension in the cord zero?
(c) Plot the acceleration of the m2 object versus Fx. Include values of Fx from −100 N to +100 N.
Part 1 of 4 - Conceptualize
The applied horizontal force can be either positive (to the right) or negative (to the left). As the force increases through sufficiently large positive values, acceleration to the right increases linearly. When Fx is negative, the acceleration is negative, and at some point the cord will go slack. At small positive values of the force, the larger mass is counterbalancing some of the weight of the smaller mass.
Part 2 of 4 - Categorize
We use the particle under a net force model for each of the two objects separately. Then we combine the equations to solve for acceleration of the blocks and the tension in the cord.
Part 3 of 4 - Analyze
Let be the tension in the connecting cord, with magnitude || = T.
The forces acting on the m1 = 3.75 kg block are given in the following equation. For this block, we subtract the force due to gravity from the tension in the cord.T − m1g = m1a
Fx − T = m2a
Since the force along the cord acts only in the x direction, we subtract the tension in the cord from the magnitude of this force. The downward force exerted on the table by the sliding block is −m2. By Newton's third law, its equal but opposite force is , the normal force, and these forces cancel out. The sliding block remains on the flat surface, moving only in the xdirection.
(a) We eliminate T from these equations and solve for a.
a =
Fx − m1g |
m1 + m2 |
a > 0 for Fx > m1g = (No Response)

N(b) We use the following equations again, but this time we eliminate a and solve for T.T − m1g | = | m1a |
Fx − T | = | m2a |

a, m/s2 | Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error. | Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. |
Look at the graph below (not to scale). Note that if Fx < −m2g, the cord is loose, so mass m1 is in free fall and mass m2 accelerates under the action of Fx only.1-Global warming is a cause for concern because even small changes in the Earth's temperature can have significant consequences.
