Figure 5.33 shows an arrangement in which four disks are suspended by cords. The longer, top cord loops over a frictionless pulley and pulls with a force of magnitude 98 N on the wall to which it is attached. The tensions in the three shorter cords areT1=58.8N,T2=49.0Nand T3=9.8N. (a) What is the mass of disk A (b) What is the mass of disk B, (c) What is the mass of disk C, and (d) What is the mass of disk D?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Mass of Disk A is 4.0kg.

b) Mass of Disk B is 1.0kg.

c) Mass of Disk C is4.0kg.

d) Mass of Disk D is 1.0kg.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. The magnitude of force is, FPull=98N.
  2. The tensions in three strings is,T1=58.8N,T2=49.0N,T3=9.8N .
  3. The acceleration due to gravity is,g=9.8m/s2 .
02

Understanding the concept of tension and weight

The tension will be equal to the weight of the mass attached to that string. With this, we can find the masses of all disks. Since the system is in equilibrium, the net force on all the disks is zero.

Formula:

Weight of the block,W=mg (i)

Where m is the mass of disk, g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Tension in the string balances the weight of the block, T-w=0 (ii)

03

(d) Calculation for mass of disk D

As T3 has attached to only disk D, so from equation (ii), we get

T3=mDg

Substitute the values in the above equation.

9.8N=mD×9.8m/s2

mD=1.0kgmD=1.0kg

Hence, the value of mass of disk D is1.0kg

04

(c) Calculation for mass of disk C

As, T2 has attached to disk C and D, so from equation (ii), we get

T2=mc+mDg49N=mc+1kg×9.8m/s2∵mD=1.0kg499.8=mc+1mc+1=5mc=4.0kg

05

(b) Calculation for mass of disk B

As T1 has attached to disk B, C and D, so from equation (ii), we get

T1=mB+mC+mDg58.8N=mB+4kg+1kg9.8m/s2∵mD=1.0kg&mc=4.0kgmB+5=6mB=1.0kg

Hence, the value of mass of disk B is1.0kg

06

(a) Calculation of mass of disk A

As the pulling force given to us is 98 N. So that would be equal to the sum of weights of all disks.

Fpull=mA+mB+mC+mDg98N=mA+1kg+4kg+1kg×9.8m/s2∵mB=1.0kg,mD=1.0kg&mC=4.0kg(mA+6)=10mA=4.0kgThemassofdiskAis4.0kg
