Chapter 7: 18P (page 172)

(a) In 1975 the roof of Montreal鈥檚 Velodrome, with a weight of 360 kN, was lifted by 10 cm so that it could be centered. How much work was done on the roof by the forces making the lift? (b) In 1960 a Tampa, Florida, mother reportedly raised one end of a car that had fallen onto her son when a jack failed. If her panic lift effectively raised 4000 N (about of the car鈥檚 weight) by 5.0 cm, how much work did her force do on the car?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The work done on the roof by the forces making the lift is 36 kJ.
  2. The work done on the car is 2脳102J.

Step by step solution

01

Given data:

Weight of lift, F1=360 kN

The weight lifted by, d1=10 cm=0.1m

The weight of the car, F2=4000 N

The car was lifted by, d2=5.0 cm=0.05 m.

02

Understanding the concept:

The work-energy theorem states that the net work done by forces on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy.

Using the work-kinetic energy theorem, you have

鈭�K=W=F鈫�.d鈫�

In both cases, there is no acceleration, so the lifting force is equal to the weight of the object.

03

(a) The work done on the roof:

Calculate the work done on the roof by the forces making the lift as follow.

W1=F1鈫�.d1鈫�=360kN0.1m=36kJ

Hence, the work done on the roof by the forces making the lift is 36 kJ.

04

(b) The work done on the car:

Determine the work done on the car as follow.

W2=F鈫�2.d2鈫�=4000N0.050m=2脳102J

Hence, the work done on the car is 2脳102J.

A bead with mass 1.8脳10-2kg is moving along a wire in the positive direction of an x axis. Beginning at time t=0, when the bead passes through x=0 with speed 12 m/s, a constant force acts on the bead. Figure 7-24 indicates the bead鈥檚 position at these four times: t0=0, t1=1.0 s, t2=2.0 s, and t3=3.0 s. The bead momentarily stops at t=3.0 s. What is the kinetic energy of the bead at t=10 s ?

In Fig.7-47 , a cord runs around two massless, frictionless pulleys. A canister with mass m 20 kg hangs from one pulley, and you exert a force F鈫�on the free end of the cord. (a) What must be the magnitude ofF鈫� if you are to lift the canister at a constant speed? (b) To lift the canister by 2.0 cm , how far must you pull the free end of the cord? During that lift, what is the work done on the canister by (c) your force (via the cord) and (d) the gravitational force? (Hint: When a cord loops around a pulley as shown, it pulls on the pulley with a net force that is twice the tension in the cord.)

In Fig. 7-33, a horizontal force F鈫�aof magnitude 20.0Nis applied to a 3.00kgpsychology book as the book slides a distanced=0.500mup a frictionless ramp at angle 胃=30.0掳. (a) During the displacement, what is the net work done on the book by F鈫�a, the gravitational force on the book, and the normal force on the book? (b) If the book has zero kinetic energy at the start of the displacement, what is its speed at the end of the displacement?

A spring with a spring constant of 180N/cmhas a cage attached to its free end. (a) How much work does the spring force do on the cage when the spring is stretched from its relaxed length by7.60mm? (b) How much additional work is done by the spring force when the spring is stretched by an additional7.60mm ?

A 45 kgblock of ice slides down a frictionless incline 1.5mlong and 0.91 mhigh. A worker pushes up against the ice, parallel to the incline, so that the block slides down at constant speed. (a) Find the magnitude of the worker鈥檚 force. How much work is done on the block by (b) the worker鈥檚 force, (c) the gravitational force on the block, (d) the normal force on the block from the surface of the incline, and (e) the net force on the block?
