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°.

An initially stationary box of sand is to be pulled across a floor by means of a cable in which the tension should not exceed 1100N. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the floor is 0.35. (a) What should be the angle between the cable and the horizontal in order to pull the greatest possible amount of sand, and (b) what is the weight of the sand and box in that situation?

A roller-coaster car at an amusement park has a mass of1200kgwhen fully loaded with passengers. As the car passes over the top of a circular hill of radius18m, assume that its speed is not changing. At the top of the hill, what are the (a) magnitudeFNand (b) direction (up or down) of the normal force on the car from the track if the car’s speed isV=11m/s? What are (c)FNand (d) the direction ifV=14m/s?

Continuation of Problem 8. Now assume that Eq. 6-14 gives the magnitude of the air drag force on the typical 20kgstone, which presents to the wind a vertical cross-sectional area of0.040m2and has a drag coefficient C of0.80. (a) In kilometers per hour, what wind speedValong the ground is needed to maintain the stone’s motion once it has started moving? Because winds along the ground are retarded by the ground, the wind speeds reported for storms are often measured at a height of10m. Assume wind speeds are2.00 times those along the ground. (b) For your answer to (a), what wind speed would be reported for the storm? (c) Is that value reasonable for a high-speed wind in a storm?

In 1987, as a Halloween stunt, two skydivers passed a pumpkin back and forth between them while they were in free fall just west of Chicago. The stunt was great fun until the last skydiver with the pumpkin opened his parachute. The pumpkin broke free from his grip, plummeted about0.5 km, and ripped through the roof of a house, slammed into the kitchen floor, and splattered all over the newly remodeled kitchen. From the sky diver’s viewpoint and from the pumpkin’s viewpoint, why did the skydiver lose control of the pumpkin?

A circular curve of highway is designed for traffic moving at 60 km/h. Assume the traffic consists of cars without negative lift. (a) If the radius of the curve is 150 m, what is the correct angle of banking of the road? (b) If the curve were not banked, what would be the minimum coefficient of friction between tires and road that would keep traffic from skidding out of the turn when traveling at60 km/h?
