Question
A man is pushing his daughter on her bike. If he pushes her with a force of 88 pounds and she weighs 5454 pounds including the weight of the bike, what is the total force being applied to the girl? Round your answer to four decimals.
Solution
The total force being applied to the girl is simply the sum of the force with which her father is pushing her and her own weight (including the bike).
So, we just need to add these two forces together:
88 pounds (force from father's push) + 5454 pounds (girl's weight including the bike) = 5542 pounds
Therefore, the total force being applied to the girl is 5542 pounds.
