Chapter 6: Q103P (page 148)

A certain string can withstand a maximum tension of 40 Nwithout breaking. A child ties a 0.37 kgstone to one end and, holding the other end, whirls the stone in a vertical circle of radius 0.91 M, slowly increasing the speed until the string breaks. (a) Where is the stone on its path when the string breaks? (b) What is the speed of the stone as the string breaks?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a)40Nb)9.5m/s

Step by step solution

01

Given

Max.TensionforceT=40NMassofthestoneM=0.37kgRadiusofthecircleR=0.91m

02

Understanding the concept

This problem is based on the Newton鈥檚 second law of motion. Newton鈥檚 2nd law states that the acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the object鈥檚 mass.

Formula:

F=ma

03

Calculate the stone on its path when the string breaks

(a)

The tension is greatest at the bottom of the swing.

By Newton鈥檚 second law:

T-mg=mv2RT=mg+v2R

Increasing the speed eventually leads to the tension at the bottom of the circle reaching that breaking value of 40 N.

04

Calculate the speed of the stone as the string breaks

(b)

Solving the above equation for the speed, we find

v=RTm-g=0.91m40N0.37kg-9.8m/s2=9.5m/s

Figure 6-32 shows three crates being pushed over a concrete floor by a horizontal force of magnitude 440N. The masses of the crates are m1=30.3kg, m2=10.1kg, and m2=20.0kg.The coefficient of kinetic friction between the floor and each of the crates is 0.700. (a) What is the magnitude F32of the force on crate 3 from crate 2? (b) If the crates then slide onto a polished floor, where the coefficient of kinetic friction is less than 0.700, is magnitude F32more than, less than, or the same as it was when the coefficient was 0.700?
