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.

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?

Why does an ordinary rifle recoil (kick backward) when fired? The barrel of a recoilless rifle is open at both ends. Describe how Newton鈥檚 third law applies when one is fired. Can you safely stand close behind one when it is fired?

Consider the baby being weighed in Figure 4.34.

(a) What is the mass of the child and basket if a scale reading of 55 N is observed?

(b) What is the tension T1 in the cord attaching the baby to the scale?

(c) What is the tension T2 in the cord attaching the scale to the ceiling, if the scale has a mass of 0.500 kg?

(d) Draw a sketch of the situation indicating the system of interest used to solve each part. The masses of the cords are negligible.

(a) Give an example of different net external forces acting on the same system to produce different accelerations. (b) Give an example of the same net external force acting on systems of different masses, producing different accelerations. (c) What law accurately describes both effects?

(a) Find its initial acceleration if it takes off vertically.

(b) How long does it take to reach a velocity of 120 km/h straight up, assuming constant mass and thrust?

(c) In reality, the mass of a rocket decreases significantly as its fuel is consumed. Describe qualitatively how this affects the acceleration and time for this motion.
