An 80 kg person is parachuting and experiencing a downward acceleration of 2.5ms2 . The mass of the parachute is 5.0 kg. (a) What is the upward force on the open parachute from the air? (b) What is the downward force on the parachute from the person?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)The upward force on the open parachute from the air is 620 N

(b)The downward force on the parachute from the person is 584 N

Step by step solution

01

Given information

It is given that,

massofperson(M)=80kgmassofparachute(M)=5kga=2.5m/s2

02

Determining the concept

The problem is based on Newton鈥檚 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. Thus, using the free body diagramfor parachute and system of parachute and person, the force can be calculated.

Formula:

According to the Newton鈥檚 second law of motion,

Fnet=Ma

where, is the net force, Mis mass and a is an acceleration.

03

(a) Determining the upward force on the open parachute from the air

From first FBD:

W - F = ( M +m ) x a

(M + m )g - F = (M +m) x a

(85 x 9.8) - F = 85 x 2.5

By solving for F

F = 620 N

Hence, The upward force on the open parachute from the air is 620 N

04

(b) Determining the downward force on the parachute from the person

From second FBD:

W-Fp=Ma(80x9.8)-Fp=80x2.5Hence,Fp=584N.Hence,Thedownwardforceontheparachutefromthepersonis584N

Figure shows a man sitting in a bosun鈥檚 chair that dangles from a massless rope, which runs over a massless, frictionless pulley and back down to the man鈥檚 hand. The combined mass of man and chair is 95.0 kg. With what force magnitude must the man pull on the rope if he is to rise (a) with a constant velocity and (b) with an upward acceleration of 1.30m/s2? (Hint:A free-body diagram can really help.) If the rope on the right extends to the ground and is pulled by a coworker, with what force magnitude must the co-worker pull for the man to rise (c) with a constant velocity and (d) with an upward acceleration of 1.30m/s2? What is the magnitude of the force on the ceiling from the pulley system in (e) part a, (f) part b, (g) part c, and (h) part d?

Figure shows a section of a cable-car system. The maximum permissible mass of each car with occupants is 2800 kg. The cars, riding on a support cable, are pulled by a second cable attached to the support tower on each car. Assume that the cables are taut and inclined at angle =35. What is the difference in tension between adjacent sections of pull cable if the cars are at the maximum permissible mass and are being accelerated up the incline at 0.81 m/s2?
