Chapter 7: Q28P (page 172)

During spring semester at MIT, residents of the parallel buildings of the East Campus dorms battle one another with large catapults that are made with surgical hose mounted on a window frame. A balloon filled with dyed water is placed in a pouch attached to the hose, which is then stretched through the width of the room. Assume that the stretching of the hose obeys Hooke鈥檚 law with a spring constant of 100 N/m. If the hose is stretched by 5.00 m and then released, how much work does the force from the hose do on the balloon in the pouch by the time the hose reaches its relaxed length?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The work by the hose on the balloon is Ws=1250J

Step by step solution

01

Given data

  1. The spring constant of the hose is,k=100N/m .
  2. The maximum elongation of the hose is,xi=5.00m.
  3. The final position of the hose is, xf=0m.
02

Understanding the concept

We can use the concept of work done by the spring on the block.

Formulae:

Ws=12kxi2-12kxf2

03

Calculate how much work the force from the hose does on the balloon

Work energy theorem states that change in the kinetic energy of the system will be equal to the work done of the system.

The work by the spring is,

Ws=12kxi2-xf2

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

Ws=12脳100N/m脳5.00m2-0m2Ws=12脳100脳5.0021N/m脳1m2脳1J1N路mWs=1250J

Thus, the work by the hose on the balloon is Ws=1250J.

A 230 kg crate hangs from the end of a rope of length L= 12.0 m . You push horizontally on the crate with a varying force F鈬赌to move it distance d= 4.00 m to the side (Fig.7-44).(a) What is the magnitude of F鈬赌when the crate is in this final position? During the crate鈥檚 displacement, what are (b) the total work done on it, (c) the work done by the gravitational force on the crate, and (d) the work F鈬赌done by the pull on the crate from the rope? (e) Knowing that the crate is motionless before and after its displacement, use the answers to (b), (c), and (d) to find the work your force does on the crate. (f) Why is the work of your force not equal to the product of the horizontal displacement and the answer to (a)?

The only force acting on a 2.0 kg canister that is moving in an xy plane has a magnitude of 5.0 N. The canister initially has a velocity of 4.0 m/sin the positive x direction and sometime later has a velocity of 6.0 m/sin the positive y direction. How much work is done on the canister by the 5.0 N force during this time?
