In Figure 5-36, let the mass of the block be 8.5kgand the angle be30. Find (a) the tension in the cord and (b) the normal force acting on the block. (c) If the cord is cut, find the magnitude of the resulting acceleration of the block.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Tension in the Cord is42N.
  2. Normal force acting on the block is72N.
  3. When the cord is cut, the magnitude of the resulting acceleration isrole="math" localid="1657002235976" -4.9m/s2.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  • Mass of the block,m=8.5kg.
  • Angle of inclination of motion, =30.
02

Understanding the concept of force and free body diagram

From Newton鈥檚 second law, the net force acting on the body is equal to the vector sum of all the forces and is the product of the mass and acceleration of the body. The free-body diagram helps us to understand the forces acting on the body and their directions.

Using the free body diagram of the block, we can determine the tension in the block and the normal force acting on it.

Using Newton鈥檚 2nd law, we can find the magnitude of the acceleration.

Formulae:

Force according to Newton鈥檚 second law,F=ma (i)

Here, F is the force, mis the mass and ais the acceleration of the body.

03

(a) Calculation of tension in the cord

Since the body is in equilibrium, the net force in the x direction on the body is zero. Write the all the forces in the x direction and substitute their values to calculate the tension as follows.

F=0T-mgsin=0(thetensioninthecordisequaltothesinecomponentoftheweightoftheblock,mg)T=mgsin=8.5kg9.8m/s2sin30=41.65N42N

So, the tension value is

04

(b) Calculation of the normal force on the block

Since the body is in equilibrium, the net force in the y direction on the body is zero. Write the all the forces in the y direction and substitute their values to calculate the normal force as follows.

Fy=0FN-mgcos=0(Thenormalforceistheperpendicularforceonthebook)FN=mgcos=8.5kg9.8m/s2cos30=72.05N72N

Hence, the value of the normal force is72N

05

(c) Calculation of magnitude of acceleration

As the cord is cut, there is no longer tension in the string i.e. T = 0 N Hence in this case,

The net force is given by equation (i). Use equation (i) and substitute the values of mass and net force to find the acceleration of the body.

FNet=ma-mgsin=ma(Fromfreebodydiagram)a=-gsin=-9.8m/s2sin(30)=-4.9m/s2

Here the negative sign shows that the acceleration is acting down the plane and its value is-4.9m/s2.
