Two teams of nine members each engage in a tug of war. Each of the first team鈥檚 members has an average mass of 68 kg and exerts an average force of 1350 N horizontally. Each of the second team鈥檚 members has an average mass of 73 kg and exerts an average force of 1365 N horizontally.

(a) What is magnitude of the acceleration of the two teams?

(b) What is the tension in the section of rope between the teams?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The magnitude of the acceleration of the two teams is 0.106 m/s2.

(b)The tension in the rope is\(12214.8\;{\rm{N}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Theory

Apply Newton鈥檚 second law of motion.

\({F_{{\rm{net}}}} = ma\)

\(\left( {{F_2} - {F_1}} \right) = \left( {{m_1} + {{\rm{m}}_2}} \right)a\) 鈥︹.鈥︹︹︹. (i)

Here,Fnetis the net force, n is the number of members, m1 is the average mass of the first team member, m2 is the average mass of the second team member, F1 is the force exerted by the first team members, F2 is the force exerted by the second team members, and a is the acceleration of the two teams.

02

Given data

  • An average mass of team 1 = 68 kg.
  • An average force exerted by team 1 =1350 N.
  • the second team鈥檚 members' average mass is= 73 kg.
  • Exerted average force by second-team =1365 N.
03

(a)  Determine the force of friction between the losing player’s feet and the grass.

Substitute 68 kg for m1, 73 kg for m2, 1350 N for F1, and 1365 N for F2 in equation (i), and we get,

\(\begin{array}{c}1365\;{\rm{N}} - 1350\;{\rm{N}} = \left( {68 + 73} \right)\;{\rm{kg}} \times a\\15\;{\rm{N}} = 141\;{\rm{kg}} \times a\\a = \frac{{15\;{\rm{kg}} \cdot {\rm{m/}}{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}}}{{141\;{\rm{kg}}}}\\a = 0.106\;{\rm{m/}}{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}\end{array}\)

Hence, the magnitude of the acceleration of the two teams is 0.106 m/s2.

04

(b) Determine the tension in the section of rope between the two teams

Apply Newton鈥檚 second law of motion,

\(T - n{F_1} = n{m_1}a\)

Here, T is the tension in the rope.

Substitute 68 kg for m1, 9 for n, and 1350 N for F1 in the above expression, and we get,

\(\begin{array}{c}T - 9 \times 1350\;{\rm{N}} = 9 \times 68\;{\rm{kg}} \times 0.106\;{\rm{m/}}{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}\\T - 12150\;{\rm{N}} = 64.872\;{\rm{kg}} \cdot {\rm{m/}}{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}\\T = \left( {64.872 + 12150} \right)\;{\rm{N}}\\T = 12214.8\;{\rm{N}}\end{array}\)

Hence, the tension in the rope is\(12214.8\;{\rm{N}}\).

A device used since the 1940 s to measure the kick or recoil of the body due to heart beats is the 鈥渂allistocardiograph.鈥 What physics principle(s) are involved here to measure the force of cardiac contraction? How might we construct such a device?

Describe a situation in which one system exerts a force on another and, as a consequence, experiences a force that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. Which of Newton鈥檚 laws of motion apply?

A freight train consists of two 8.00脳104 -kg engines and 45 cars with average masses of 5.50脳104 kg.

(a) What force must each engine exert backward on the track to accelerate the train at a rate of 5.00脳10鈥2 m/s2 if the force of friction is 7.50脳105 N, assuming the engines exert identical forces? This is not a large frictional force for such a massive system. Rolling friction for trains is small, and consequently trains are very energy-efficient transportation systems.

(b) What is the force in the coupling between the 37th and 38th cars (this is the force each exerts on the other), assuming all cars have the same mass and that friction is evenly distributed among all of the cars and engines?

Suppose your car was mired deeply in the mud, and you wanted to use the method illustrated in Figure 4.37 to pull it out.

(a) What force would you have to exert perpendicular to the center of the rope to produce a force of 12,000 N on the car if the angle is 2.00掳? In this part, explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for Newton鈥檚 laws of motion.

(b) Real ropes stretch under such forces. What force would be exerted on the car if the angle increases to 7.00掳 and you still apply the force found in part (a) to its center?

The gravitational force on the basketball in Figure 4.6 is ignored. When gravity is taken into account, what is the direction of the net external force on the basketball鈥攁bove horizontal, below horizontal, or still horizontal.
