An old streetcar rounds a flat corner of radius 9.1m, at16km/h. What angle with the vertical will be made by the loosely hanging hand straps?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The vertical angle will be made by the loosely hanging hand straps is 12°.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

  • ¸é²¹»å¾±³Ü²õ=9.1″¾
  • ³Õ±ð±ô´Ç³¦¾±³Ù²â=16 k³¾/³ó°ù
02

To understand the concept 

The problem deals with Newton’s laws of motion which describe the relations between the forces acting on a body and the motion of the body.

Formula:

|a|=v2/R

03

Calculate the angle with the vertical will be made by the loosely hanging hand straps

The free-body diagram (for the hand straps of mass m) is the view that a passenger might see if she was looking forward and the streetcar was curving towards the right (so it points rightwards in the figure).

We note that |a|=v2/R

Where,

v=16 k³¾/³ó°ù=4.4″¾/²õ

Applying Newton’s law to the axes of the problem (+x is rightward and +y is upward), we obtain,

Tsinθ=mv2/R

T³¦´Ç²õθ=mg

Solving these equations for the angle,

θ=tan−1v2Rg

Substitute the values in the above equation, and we get,

θ=tan−1(4.4″¾/²õ)2(9.1″¾)(9.8″¾/²õ2)θ=tan−1(4.4″¾/²õ)2(9.1″¾)(9.8″¾/²õ2)θ=tan−1(0.2170)θ=12°

Thus,the vertical angle will be made by the loosely hanging hand straps is 12°.

In Fig. 6-46, a box of ant aunts (total massm1=1.65kg) and a box of ant uncles (total massm=3.30kg) slide down an inclined plane while attached by a massless rod parallel to the plane. The angle of incline isθ=30.0°. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the aunt box and the incline isμ1=0.226; that between the uncle box and the incline isμ2=0.113.Compute

(a) the tension in the rod and

(b) the magnitude of the common acceleration of the two boxes.

(c) How would the answers to (a) and (b) change if the uncles trailed the aunts?

A 68kgcrate is dragged across a floor by pulling on a rope attached to the crate and inclined 15°above the horizontal. (a) If the coefficient of static friction is 0.50, what minimum force magnitude is required from the rope to start the crate moving? (b) If μk=0.35 , what is the magnitude of the initial acceleration of the crate?

Figure 6-53 shows a conical pendulum, in which the bob (the small object at the lower end of the cord) moves in a horizontal circle at constant speed. (The cord sweeps out a cone as the bob rotates.) The bob has a mass of 0.040 kg, the string has length L=0.90 mand negligible mass, and the bob follows a circular path of circumference 0.94 m. What are

(a) the tension in the string and

(b) the period of the motion?

In Fig. 6-23, a sled is held on an inclined plane by a cord pulling directly up the plane. The sled is to be on the verge of moving up the plane. In Fig. 6-28, the magnitude Frequired of the cord’s force on the sled is plotted versus a range of values for the coefficient of static frictionμs between sled and plane: F1=2.0N, F2=5.0N, and μ2=0.50. At what angle θis the plane inclined?

Calculate the ratio of the drag force on a jet flying at 1000km/hat an altitude of10kmto the drag force on a prop-driven transport flying at half that speed and altitude.
