Figure 5-26 shows a train of four blocks being pulled across a frictionless floor by force. What total mass is accelerated to the right by (a) force, (b) cord 3, and (c) cord 1? (d) Rank the blocks according to their accelerations, greatest first. (e) Rank the cords according to their tension, greatest first.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The total mass accelerated to the right by ForceF鈬赌isMs=20kg
  2. The total mass accelerated to the right byCord 3 isrole="math" localid="1656999919783" M3c=18kg
  3. The total mass accelerated to the right byCord 1 isM1c=10kg
  4. The acceleration of all the blocks is the same.
  5. Rank of the cords according to their tension iscord3,cord2,cord1

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Masses of the blocks arem1=2kg,m2=5kg,m3=3kgandm4=10kg

02

To understand the concept

The problem is based on Newton鈥檚 second law of motion. The law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent on the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object.

Formula:

F鈬赌net=ma

03

(a) To find the total mass accelerated to the right by Force F→

The total mass accelerated to the right by Force F鈬赌is

Ms=m1+m2+m3+m4

Ms=2kg+5kg+3kg+10kg=20kg

04

(b) To find the total mass accelerated to the right by Cord 3

The total mass accelerated to the right byCord 3 is

M3c=m2+m3+m4

M3c=5kg+3kg+10kg=18kg

05

(c) To find the total mass accelerated to the right by Cord 1

The total mass accelerated to the right byCord 1 is

M1c=M4M1c=10kg

06

(d) To rank the blocks according to their acceleration, the greatest first

As all the masses lie in one system, the acceleration of all the blocks is the same.

Therefore, the rank of the blocks according to their acceleration, greatest first, is a tie.

07

(e) To rank the cords according to their tension greatest first  

To find the tension, we can multiply the acceleration by the mass on the right-hand side.

Since for cord 3, mass is maximum and acceleration is the same, we can conclude that tension is maximum in cord 3. Similarly, the tension in cord 1 would be minimum.

The rank of the cords according to their tension iscord3,cord2,cord1

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?

At timet=0, constant begins to act on a rock moving through deep space in the +xdirection. (a) For time t>0, which are possible functions x(t)for the rock鈥檚 position:(1) x=4t-3 , (2) x=-4t2+6t-3, (3) x=4t2+6t-3? (b) For which function isFdirected opposite the rock鈥檚 initial direction of motion?

A nucleus that captures a stray neutron must bring the neutron to a stop within the diameter of the nucleus by means of the strong force.That force, which 鈥済lues鈥 the nucleus together, is approximately zero outside the nucleus. Suppose that a stray neutron with an initial speed of1.4107m/sis just barely captured by a nucleus with diameterd=1.010-14m. Assuming the strong force on the neutron is constant, find the magnitude of that force. The neutron鈥檚 mass is1.6710-27kg.
