Tarzan, who weighs 688 N , swings from a cliff at the end of a vine 18 m long (Figure). From the top of the cliff to the bottom of the swing, he descends by 3.2 m . The vine will break if the force on it exceeds 950 N . (a) Does the vine break? (b) If no, what is the greatest force on it during the swing? If yes, at what angle with the vertical does it break?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. No,thevine does not break.
  2. The greatest force acting on the vine is T=933N

Step by step solution

01

Given          

  1. The weight of Tarzon is,W=68s
  2. The length of the vine is,l=18m
  3. The vertical distance covered from the top of the cliff to the bottom of the swing is,h=3.2m
  4. The maximum limit of the force in the vine is,T=950N
02

Determining the concept

Use the concept of energy conservation law and find the velocity at the lowest point. At the cliff, there is potential energy, and it is converted to kinetic energy during the swing. Use Newton鈥檚 second law and find the greatest tension in the vine. According to the law of energy conservation, energy can neither be created, nor be destroyed.

Formulae:

W=mgU=mghK=12mv2

where, K is kinetic energy, Uis potential energy, m is mass, v is velocity, g is an acceleration due to gravity, his height and W is work done.

03

(a) Determining if thevine break

The weight of Tarzan is,

W=mg

According to the energy conservation law, the potential energy is converted to the kinetic energy duringtheswing, and finally, the velocity at the lowest point,

mgh=12mv2gh=12v2v2=2gh

Examine the tension in the string at the lowest point. If it isn鈥檛 breaking, then it has greatest tension.

The free body diagram is shown at the lowest point. The centripetal force and tension are acting in upward direction and weight in downward direction. Use the sign convention according to the motion of the body. According to Newton鈥檚 second law,

T-mg=mv2r

Here,

r=l=18mT=mv2l+mgT=mv2l+gT=m2ghl+gT=mg2hl+1T=688N23.2m18m+1T=933N

Therefore, no, the vine does not break. The maximum limit of the force in the vine is T=950N but here the maximum tension in the vine at the lowest pointis T=933N. It is less than the maximum limit.

04

(b) Determining thegreatest force acting on it during the swing if vine don’t break and the angle with the vertical if it breaks

The maximum force in the vine at the lowest point is,

T=933N

Hence,the greatest force acting on the vine is,T=933N

Therefore, the maximum tension in the vine at the lowest point can be found by using Newton鈥檚 second law and energy conservation law.

In Fig. 8-18, a horizontally moving block can take three frictionless routes, differing only in elevation, to reach the dashed finish line. Rank the routes according to (a) the speed of the block at the finish line and (b) the travel time of the block to the finish line, greatest first.

In Fig. 8-23a, you pull upward on a rope that is attached to a cylinder on a vertical rod. Because the cylinder fits tightly on the rod, the cylinder slides along the rod with considerable friction.
