Unit 5- Empire State Of Mind

This picture of the Empire State Building explains today's lesson because shows Newton's third law in action. In this picture, The Empire State Building is stationary. Although it looks to be silent where are forces that are acting upon this building. The force of gravity is pushing the building down and the huge normal force of the building is pushing it up. If I wanted to make a free body illustration for this building I would draw my N force line straight up and then I would draw my Mg force line straight down and I would make it the same length as my N force line. This, besides very good builders, is what is keeping this wonderful, iconic building standing tall and proud for all to see and admire.
