A worker drags a crate across a factory floor by pulling on a rope tied to the crate. The worker exerts a force of magnitude F=450Non the rope, which is inclined at an upward angle θ=38°to the horizontal, and the floor exerts a horizontal force of magnitude f=125Nthat opposes the motion. Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the crate if (a) its mass is 310kgand (b) its weight is 310N.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Magnitude of the acceleration of the crate when m=310kgis 0.74m/s2

b) Magnitude of the acceleration of the crate when W=310Nis 7.3m/s2

Step by step solution

01

Given information

It is given that,

F1=450NF2=125N

02

Determining the concept

The problem is based on Newton’s second law of motion which states that the rate of change of momentum of a body is equal in both magnitude and direction of the force acting on it. Using Newton’s second law of motion, write the acceleration of the given object and solve it for different conditions given. Component of the force can be found using vector resolution method along the required directions.

Formula is as follow:

The net force is given by,

Fnet=∑Ma

By applying Newton’s second law:

F1cosθ-F2=maa=F1cosθ-F2m

03

(a) Determining the magnitude of the acceleration of the crate when m=310 kg

When F1cosθ-F2=ma

a=450cos38-125310a=0.74m/s2

Hence, the magnitude of the acceleration of the crate whenm=310kg isa=0.74m/s2

04

(b) Determining the magnitude of the acceleration of the crate when W=310 N

WhenW=310N

Hence, mass

m=3109.8=31.6kg

Now,

a=450cos38-12531.6a=7.3m/s2

Hence, magnitude of the acceleration of the crate whenW=310N isa=7.3m/s2
