A 1100-kg car pulls a boat on a trailer.

(a) What total force resists the motion of the car, boat, and trailer, if the car exerts a 1900-N force on the road and produces an acceleration of 0.550 m/s2? The mass of the boat plus trailer is 700 kg.

(b) What is the force in the hitch between the car and the trailer if 80% of the resisting forces are experienced by the boat and trailer?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The total resistance force is 910 N.

(b) The force in the hitch between the car and the trailer is 1113 N.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

  • Mass of the car = 1100 kg.
  • Force exerted by the car = 1900 N.
  • Mass of the boat and trailer = 700 kg.
  • Acceleration = 0.550 m/s2.
02

(a) Determine the total resistance force

Apply Newton鈥檚 second law of motion as:

Fnet=MaFf=(mb+mt+mc)a 鈥︹赌︹赌︹赌.鈥︹赌︹赌︹赌︹赌(颈)

Here, Fnet is the net force acting on the system, mb is the mass of the boat, mtis the mass of the trailer, mc is the mass of the car, a is the acceleration, and F is the force exerted by the car, and f is the resistance force.

Substitute 700 kg for (mb+mt), 1100 kg formc, 1900 N forF, and 0.550 m/s2 for a in the above expression, and we get,

1900鈥凬f=700+1100鈥刱驳0.55鈥刴/蝉21900Nf=1800鈥刱驳0.55鈥刴/蝉2f=1900990鈥凬f=910鈥凬

Hence, the total resistance force is 910 N.

03

(b) Determine the force in the hitch between the car and the trailer

Apply Newton鈥檚 second law of motion as:

F'0.8f=(mb+mt)a

Here, F鈥 is the force in the hitch between the car and the trailer.

Substitute 900 N forf, 700 kg for (mb+mt), and 0.550 m/s2 for a in the above expression, and we get,

localid="1655713865611" F'0.8910鈥凬=700鈥刱驳0.55鈥刴/蝉2F'728鈥凬=385鈥凬F'=385+728鈥凬F'=1113鈥凬

Hence, the force in the hitch between the car and the trailer is 1113 N.

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?

In a traction setup for a broken bone, with pulleys and rope available, how might we be able to increase the force along the femur using the same weight? (See Figure 4.30.) (Note that the femur is the shin bone shown in this image.

Newton鈥檚 third law of motion tells us that forces always occur in pairs of equal and opposite magnitude. Explain how the choice of the 鈥渟ystem of interest鈥 affects whether one such pair of forces cancels.

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?

What properties do forces have that allow us to classify them as vectors?
