In Problem 6, what are the magnitudes of:

  1. The horizontal component
  2. The vertical component of the netforce acting on the block at point Q?
  3. At what height hshould the block be released from rest so that it is on the verge of losing contact with the track at the top of the loop? (On the verge of losing contact means that the normal force on the block from the track has just then become zero.)
  4. Graph the magnitude of the normal force on the block at the top of the loop versus initial height h, for the range h=0to h=6R.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Horizontal component of net force acting on the block at point Q is 2.5N .
  2. Vertical component of net force acting on the block at point Q is 0.31 N.
  3. The block should be released from rest at height h=0.30m so that it is on the verge of losing contact with the track at the top of the loop.
  4. Graph of normal force on the block at the top versus height h (for h to 6R) is plotted.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Given

  1. Mass of block,M=0.032Kg
  2. Loop radius,R=12cm=0.12m
  3. Height of point P,h=5.0R
02

Determining the concept

Using energy conversion and the concept of changing energy as per the position of block and forces acting on it, find the results. According to the law of energy conservation, energy can neither be created, nor be destroyed.

Formulae are as follow:

  1. Kinetic energy,KE=12mv2
  2. Potential energy,PE=mgh
  3. KE+PE=constant
  4. Centripetal force, F=mv2R
  5. Force, localid="1663048855896" F=mgwhere, KE is kinetic energy, PEis potential energy, m is mass, v is velocity, g is an acceleration due to gravity, F is force, R is radius, and h is height.
03

(a) Determining the horizontal component of net force acting on the block at point q

About the horizontal component at point Q, it is known that the block has centripetal force, which is along the radius toward the centre. It is given by,

F=mV2Rleftward,

So, KEp+PEp=KEQ+PEQ

At point P, there is no kinetic energy. Therefore,

0+mgh=12mv2+mgRAs,h=5Rmg5R=12mv2+mgRmv2=8mgR

Now, centripetal force is,

role="math" localid="1663047227853" F=mV2RF=8mgRRF=8mgF=80.0329.8F=2.5N

Hence, horizontal component of net force acting on the block at point Q is 2.5N

04

(b) Determining the vertical component of net force acting on the block at point q

The vertical component acting on the block is only its weight in downward direction,

F=mgF=0.0329.8F=0.31N

Hence, vertical component of net force acting on the block at point Q is 0.31N.

05

(c) Determining the at what height h should the block be released from rest so that it is on the verge of losing contact with the track at the top of the loop

As the condition given in the problem, for the loss of contact between block and track, the gravitational force must be equal to centripetal force,

mv2R=mgmvtop2=mgR

Law of conservation of energy,

KEP+PEP=KEtop+PEtop0+mgh=12mvtop2+mghtopgh=12gR+g2Rh=12R+2Rh=52Rh=520.12h=0.30m

Hence, the block should be released from rest at height h=0.30 m so that it is on the verge of losing contact with the track at the top of the loop.

06

(d) Determining the graph of normal force on the block at the top versus height h (for h to 6r)

At the top of the loop,

FN=mvt2R-mg

vtis the velocity at the top.

From law of conservation of energy,

localid="1663048893886" mgh=12mv2+mg2Rgh=12v2+2gR

To barely make it to the top, centripetal force would be equal to the force of gravity,

localid="1663048906045" mv2R=mgv2=Rg

So,

localid="1663048919661" gh=Rg2+2Rg

That implies,

localid="1663048932222" h2.5R

Then the normal force, as a function of h, can be written as,

localid="1663048947102" FN=2mghR-5mg

Using the above equation, localid="1663048962952" FNvs h can be plotted between h=R to h=6R as follows:

Hence, graph of normal force on the block at the top versus height h (for h to 6R) is plotted.
