Chapter 4: Q4.6-35PE (page 163)

A nurse pushes a cart by exerting a force on the handle at a downward angle 35.0潞 below the horizontal. The loaded cart has a mass of 28.0 kg, and the force of friction is 60.0 N.

(a) Draw a free-body diagram for the system of interest.

(b) What force must the nurse exert to move at a constant velocity?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(b) The force exerted by the nurse is 73.26 N.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

  • Angle below the horizontal = 35.0潞.
  • The loaded cart鈥檚 mass = 28.0 kg.
  • the force of friction = 60.0 N.
02

(a) The free-body diagram showing the forces involve

Here, F is the force exerted on the cart, f is the force of friction, and W is the weight of the cart.

03

(b) Determine the force exerted by the nurse on the cart

To move at a constant velocity, the sum of the forces in the x-direction must be zero as:

鈭�Fx=0Fcos35掳鈭�f=0F=fcos35掳

Substitute 60 N for f in the above expression, and we get,

F=60鈥凬cos35掳=60鈥凬0.819=73.26鈥凬

Hence, the force exerted by the nurse is 73.26 N.

Most popular questions from this chapter

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.

Give a detailed example of how the exchange of a particle can result in an attractive force. (For example, consider one child pulling a toy out of the hands of another.)

Unreasonable Results

(a) What is the initial acceleration of a rocket that has a mass of 1.50脳106 kg at takeoff, the engines of which produce a thrust of 2.00脳106 N ? Do not neglect gravity.

(b) What is unreasonable about the result? (This result has been unintentionally achieved by several real rockets.)

(c) Which premise is unreasonable, or which premises are inconsistent? (You may find it useful to compare this problem to the rocket problem earlier in this section.)

Describe a situation in which the net external force on a system is not zero, yet its speed remains constant.

In Figure 4.7, the net external force on the 24-kg mower is stated to be 51 N. If the force of friction opposing the motion is 24 N, what force F (in newtons) is the person exerting on the mower? Suppose the mower is moving at 1.5 m/s when the force F is removed. How far will the mower go before stopping?
