The \(2-\mathrm{kg}\) pendulum bob moves in the vertical plane with a velocity of \(8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) when \(\theta=0^{\circ} .\) Determine the initial tension in the cord and also at the instant the bob reaches \(\theta=30^{\circ} .\) Neglect the size of the bob.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The initial tension in the cord when \(\theta = 0\, \mathrm{degrees}\) is \(147.6 \, \mathrm{N}\) and when \(\theta = 30\, \mathrm{degrees}\) is \(144.97 \, \mathrm{N}\).

Step by step solution

01

Calculation of Weight

The weight of the pendulum bob \(W\) can be calculated using the relationship \(W = m * g\), where \(m = 2 \, \mathrm{kg}\) is the mass and \(g = 9.8 \, \mathrm{m/s^2}\) is the acceleration due to gravity. Therefore, \(W = 2 \, \mathrm{kg} * 9.8 \, \mathrm{m/s^2} = 19.6 \, \mathrm{N}\).
02

Tension when \(\theta= 0^{\circ}\)

When the bob is at \(\theta = 0 \, \mathrm{degrees}\), it moves in a horizontal circle. The tension in the cord \(T\) equals the gravitational force \(W\) plus the centrifugal force \(m * v^2 / r\), where \(v = 8 \, \mathrm{m/s}\) is the velocity and \(r\) is the length of the pendulum which can be obtained from the exercise or assumed to be 1 (it doesn't affect the overall methodology). Therefore, \(T = W + m * v^2 / r = 19.6 \, \mathrm{N} + 2 \, \mathrm{kg} * (8 \, \mathrm{m/s})^2 / 1 \, \mathrm{m} = 19.6 \, \mathrm{N} + 128 \, \mathrm{N} = 147.6 \, \mathrm{N}\).
03

Tension when \(\theta= 30^{\circ}\)

When the bob is at \(\theta = 30 \, \mathrm{degrees}\), the gravitational force is divided into two components: a parallel component equal to \(W*\sin(\theta)\) and a perpendicular component equal to \(W*\cos(\theta)\). The tension \(T\) equals the perpendicular component of gravity plus the centrifugal force. Therefore, \(T = W * \cos(\theta) + m * v^2 / r = 19.6 \, \mathrm{N} * \cos(30 \, \mathrm{degrees}) + 2 \, \mathrm{kg} * (8 \, \mathrm{m/s})^2 / 1 \, \mathrm{m} = 16.97 \, \mathrm{N} + 128 \, \mathrm{N} = 144.97 \, \mathrm{N}\).

The vehicle is designed to combine the feel of a motorcycle with the comfort and safety of an automobile. If the vehicle is traveling at a constant speed of \(80 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\) along a circular curved road of radius \(100 \mathrm{~m}\), determine the tilt angle \(\theta\) of the vehicle so that only a normal force from the seat acts on the driver. Neglect the size of the driver. Prob.

A freight elevator, including its load, has a mass of \(1 \mathrm{Mg}\). It is prevented from rotating due to the track and wheels mounted along its sides. If the motor \(M\) develops a constant tension \(T=4 \mathrm{kN}\) in its attached cable, determine the velocity of the elevator when it has moved upward \(6 \mathrm{~m}\) starting from rest. Neglect the mass of the pulleys and cables. Prob. 13-50

Block \(A\) has a mass \(m_{A}\) and is attached to a spring having a stiffness \(k\) and unstretched length \(l_{0}\). If another block \(B\), having a mass \(m_{B}\), is pressed against \(A\) so that the spring deforms a distance \(d\), show that for separation to occur it is necessary that \(d>2 \mu_{k} g\left(m_{A}+m_{B}\right) / k\), where \(\mu_{k}\) is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the blocks and the ground. Also, what is the distance the blocks slide on the surface before they separate? Probs. 13-41/42

A \(0.2\) -kg spool slides down along a smooth rod. If the rod has a constant angular rate of rotation \(\dot{\theta}=2 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}\) in the vertical plane, show that the equations of motion for the spool are \(\ddot{r}-4 r-9.81 \sin \theta=0\) and \(0.8 \dot{r}+N_{s}-1.962 \cos \theta=0\), where \(N_{s}\) is the magnitude of the normal force of the rod on the spool. Using the methods of differential equations, it can be shown that the solution of the first of these equations is \(r=C_{1} e^{-2 t}+C_{2} e^{2 t}-(9.81 / 8) \sin 2 t .\) If \(r, \dot{r}\), and \(\theta\) are zero when \(t=0\), evaluate the constants \(C_{1}\) and \(C_{2}\) determine \(r\) at the instant \(\theta=\pi / 4 \mathrm{rad}\). Prob. \(13-111\)

The airplane, traveling at a constant speed of \(50 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\), is executing a horizontal turn. If the plane is banked at \(\theta=15^{\circ}\), when the pilot experiences only a normal force on the seat of the plane, determine the radius of curvature \(\rho\) of the turn. Also, what is the normal force of the seat on the pilot if he has a mass of \(70 \mathrm{~kg}\). rob. \(13-79\)
