Figure 12-84 shows a stationary arrangement of two crayon boxes and three cords. Box Ahas a mass of11.0 k²µ and is on a ramp at angle θ=30.0°box Bhas a mass of7.00 k²µ and hangs on a cord. The cord connected to box Ais parallel to the ramp, which is frictionless. (a) What is the tension in the upper cord, and (b) what angle does that cord make with the horizontal?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Tension in the upper cord is106 N.
  2. Angle made by upper cord with the horizontal is 64.0°.

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the given information

Mass of box A,mA=11.0 k²µ

Mass of box B,mB=7.00 k²µ

Angle made by ramp to the horizontal,θ=30°

02

Concept and formula used in the given question

Using the concept of equilibrium of forces, you can find the tension in the upper cord and the angle made by that cord with the horizontal. The equations used are given below.

Tcosθ=TAcos30°T²õ¾±²Ôθ=TA×sin(30°)+TB

03

(a) Calculation for the tension in the upper cord

We have,for the equilibrium of forces,

Tcosθ'=TAcos30°T³¦´Ç²õθ'=mA×g×sin(30°)×cos(30°) â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰(1)

Also,

T²õ¾±²Ôθ'=TA×sin(30°)+TBT²õ¾±²Ôθ'=mA×g×sin(30°)×sin(30°)+mB×g â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â€‰â€‰â€‰(2)

Now, solving eq. (1) and (2), for tension we get

T=106 N

(b) Calculation for the angle does that cord make with the horizontal

Solving the above eq. (1) and eq. (2), for angle we get

θ'=64.0°

A75kgwindow cleaner uses a10kgladder that is5.0mlong. He places one end on the ground2.5mfrom a wall, rests the upper end against a cracked window, and climbs the ladder. He is3.0mup along the ladder when the window breaks. Neglect friction between the ladder and window and assume that the base of the ladder does not slip. When the window is on the verge of breaking, what are (a) the magnitude of the force on the window from the ladder, (b) the magnitude of the force on the ladder from the ground, and (c) the angle (relative to the horizontal) of that force on the ladder?

Question: In Fig.12-35, horizontal scaffold 2, with uniform mass m2 =30.0 kg and length L2 =2.00 m, hangs from horizontal scaffold 1, with uniform mass m1 = 50 kg . A 20 kgbox of nails lies on scaffold 2, centered at distance d = 0.500 mfrom the left end. What is the tension Tin the cable indicated?

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.)

A mine elevator is supported by a single steel cable2.5cmin diameter. The total mass of the elevator cage and occupants is670kg .By how much does the cable stretch when the elevator hangs by (a)12m of cableand (b) 362mof cable?(Neglect the mass of the cable.)

For the stepladder shown in the Figure, sidesACand CE are each 2.44m long and hinged at . Bar is a tie-rod 0.762mlong, halfway up. A man weighing 854Nclimbs 1.80m along the ladder. Assuming that the floor is frictionless and neglecting the mass of the ladder.Find

(a)the tension in the tie-rod and the magnitudes of the forces on the ladder from the floor at

(b) Aand

(c) E . (Hint: Isolate parts of the ladder in applying the equilibrium conditions.)
