The force F→ in Fig. 12-70 keeps the 6.40 k²µ block and the pulleys in equilibrium. The pulleys have negligible mass and friction. Calculate the tension Tin the upper cable. (Hint:When a cable wraps halfway around a pulley as here, the magnitude of its net force on the pulley is twice the tension in the cable.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

Tension T in the upper cable is 71.68 N.

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the given information

Mass of the block, m=6.40 k²µ

02

Concept and formula used in the given question

Using the equilibrium conditions, you can write the equations for force for the lowest pulley and find the tension in terms of applied force. You can do it for the remaining two pulleys and find the tension in the string holding the topmost pulley. The formula used is given below.

∑Fnet=0

03

Calculation for the tension T in the upper cable

From the figure, we can conclude that

T1=FT2=F+T1T2=2FT3=2F+T2T3=4FT=4F+T3T=8F

In addition, we know the value of force,F=62.72 N

We can write,

T1+T2+T3=mg7F=mgF=mg7F=62.72 N7F=8.96 N

We already found that,

T=8F

So,

T=(8.96 N)(8)=71.68 N

Thus, the tension in the upper cable is 71.68 N.

Question: An automobile with a mass of 1360 kg has 3.05 m between the front and rear axles. Its center of gravity is located 1.78 m behind the front axle. With the automobile on level ground, determine the magnitude of the force from the ground on (a) each front wheel (assuming equal forces on the front wheels) and (b) each rear wheel (assuming equal forces on the rear wheels).

In Figure 12-43, a climber leans out against a vertical ice wall that has negligible friction. Distance ais 0.914″¾ and distance Lis2.10″¾. His center of mass is distance d=0.940″¾from the feet–ground contact point. If he is on the verge of sliding, what is the coefficient of static friction between feet and ground?

In Fig. 12-67a, a uniform40.0kgbeam is centered over two rollers. Vertical lines across the beam mark off equal lengths. Two of the lines are centered over the rollers; a 10.0kgpackage of tamales is centered over roller B.What are the magnitudes of the forces on the beam from (a) roller Aand (b) roller B? The beamis then rolled to the left until the right-hand end is centered over roller B(Fig. 12-67b).What now are the magnitudes of the forces on the beam from (c) roller Aand (d) roller B? Next, the beam is rolled to the right. Assume that it has a length of 0.800 m. (e) what horizontal distance between the package and roller Bputs the beam on the verge of losing contact with rollerA?

If the (square) beam in fig 12-6aassociated sample problem is of Douglasfir, what must be its thickness to keep the compressive stress on it to16 of its ultimate strength?

The rigid square frame in Fig. 12-79 consists of the four side bars AB ,BC , CD , and DA plus two diagonal bars ACand BD , which pass each other freely at E. By means of the turnbuckle G, bar ABis put under tension, as if its ends were subject to horizontal, outward forcesT→ of magnitude535 N .

(a) Which of the other bars are in tension? What are the magnitudes of (b) the forces causing the tension in those bars and (c) the forces causing compression in the other bars?
