An object is hung from a spring balance attached to the ceiling of an elevator cab. The balance reads 65 Nwhen the cab is standing still. What is the reading when the cab is moving upward(a) with a constant speed of 7.6 m/sand (b) with a speed 7.6 m/s ofWhile decelerating at a rate of 2.4 m/s?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Scale reading when cab moving upward with constant speed 7.6 m/s is 65N.

(b) Scale reading when cab moving upward with speed 7.6m/s while decelerating with 24m/s2 is 49 N.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

  1. T=W=65N ,
  2. V=7.6m/s and
  3. a=2.4m/s2.
02

Understanding the concept

Newton鈥檚 second law states that the net force acting on the object is equal to the product of mass and the acceleration of the object.

Find the scale reading by using Newton鈥檚 law. We can find the mass of the object just using weight equation.

03

Formula used

  1. W=mg
  2. F =ma

Here, W is weight of the object,m is mass of the object,g is gravitational acceleration, F is force and is acceleration of the object.

04

Calculate the mass of the object

Mass of the object can be calculated using the formula for the weight.

W=mgm=Wg=65N9.8m/s2=6.6kg

Therefore, the mass of the object is 6.6kg.

05

(a) Calculate the scale reading when cab is moving upward with constant speed

As the cab is moving with constant speed the acceleration is zero so the scale reading will be 65N.

06

(b) Calculate the scale reading when cab is moving upward with speed 7.6m/s while decelerating with 2.4m/s2

We apply Newton鈥檚 second law to find tension or scale reading,

ma=T-mgT=ma+mg=ma+g=6.6kg-2.4m/s2+9.8m/s2=49N

Therefore, the tension or scale reading is 49N.

A 鈥渟un yacht鈥 is a spacecraft with a large sail that is pushed by sunlight. Although such a push is tiny in everyday circumstances, it can be large enough to send the spacecraft outward from the Sun on a cost-free but slow trip. Suppose that the spacecraft has a mass of 900 kgand receives a push of 20 N.

(a) What is the magnitude of the resulting acceleration? If the craft starts from rest, (b) how far will it travel in 1 day and (c) how fast will it then be moving?

Figure 5-28 shows four choices for the direction of a force of magnitude F to be applied to a block on an inclined plane. The directions are either horizontal or vertical. (For choice b, the force is not enough to lift the block off the plane.) Rank the choices according to the magnitude of the normal force acting on the block from the

plane, greatest first.

In Fig. 5-64, a forceof magnitude 12Nis applied to a FedEx box of mass m2=1.0kg. The force is directed up a plane tilted by =37. The box is connected by a cord to a UPS box of mass m1=3.0kgon the floor. The floor, plane, and pulley are friction less, and the masses of the pulley and cord are negligible. What is the tension in the cord?
