The cable of the 1800 kgelevator cabin Figure snaps when the cab is at rest at the first floor, where the cab bottom is a distance d = 3.7 m above a spring of spring constant k = 0.15 MN/m . A safety device clamps the cab against guide rails so that a constant frictional force of 4.4 kNopposes the cab鈥檚 motion. (a) Find the speed of the cab just before it hits the spring. (b) Find the maximum distance xthat the spring is compressed (the frictional force still acts during this compression). (c) Find the distance that the cab will bounce back up the shaft. (d) Using conservation of energy, find the approximate total distance that the cab will move before coming to rest. (Assume that the frictional force on the cab is negligible when the cab is stationary.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The speed of the cab just before it hits the spring is v = 7.4 m/s

b) The maximum distance that the spring is compressed is x = 90 cm

c) The distance that the cab will bounce back the shift is d' = 2.8 cm

d) The approximate total distance dtotalthat the cab will move before coming to rest isdtotal=15m ,

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

The mass of the cab is, m = 1800 kg

Distance between cab and spring is d = 3.7 m

The spring constant is,

k=0.15MN/m=0.15106N/m

The constant frictional force is,

f=4.4kN=4400N

Understanding the concept of energy

By using thermal energyEthand computing gravitational potential U , we can find thespeed v of the cab just before it hits the spring. By finding kinetic energy kand computing gravitational potential U , we can find themaximum distance xthat the spring is compressed. Similarly, assuming d' > xand computing gravitational potential U , we can find thedistance that the cab will bounce back at the shift. By assuming, the elevator comes to a final rest at the equilibrium position of the spring, with the spring compressed an amountrole="math" localid="1661400163825" deqand computing gravitational potential U , we can find theapproximate total distancedtotal that the cab will move before coming to rest.

Formula:

The thermal energy associated is,Eth=f.d

The gravitational potential energy is,U=mgy

Also, it is,U=K+Eth

The kinetic energy is, K=12mv2

The quadratic formula for x is,x=2+2kKk

03

Step 3(a): Calculation of the speed of the cab just before it hits the spring 

Here, the thermal energy associated is,

Eth=f.d

With W = 0 and computing,

U=mgy

Set at the top of the spring, we get,

Ui=K+Ethmgd=12mv2+fdv=2dg-fm=23.79.8-44001800=7.4m/s

Hence, the speed of the cab just before it hits the spring is v = 7.4 m/s

04

Step 4(b): Calculation of the maximum distance that the spring is compressed

Again with, W = 0 and computing, U = mgy

Therefore, we end up with gravitational potential energy at the bottom point as

Gravitational potential energy = mg(-x)

Therefore, we get,

K=mg-x+12x2+fx

But

K=12mv2=1218007.42=4.9104J

And

=mg-f=18009.8-4400=1.3104N

Now, by using quadratic formula, we get,

x=2+2Kkk=1.31041.31042+20.151064.91040.15106=0.90m=90cm

Hence, the maximum distance x that the spring is compressed is x = 90 cm

05

Step 5(c):  Calculation of the distance d'  that the cab will bounce back the shift

Letdistance d' be the distance above the relaxed position of the spring and d'>x . Also, using the bottom-most point as the reference level for computing gravitational potential energy, we get

12kx2=mgd'+fd'd'=kx22mg+d=0.151060.902218009.8+3.7=2.8m

Hence, the distance d' that the cab will bounce back the shift is, d' = 2.8 m

06

Step 6(d): Find the approximate total distance dtotal that the cab will move before coming to rest

Let the elevator come to final rest at the equilibrium position of the spring, with the spring compressed at an amountdeqgiven by

mg=kdeqdeq=mgk=18009.80.15106=0.12m

Computing gravitational potential U = mgy , we get,

mgdeq+d=12kdeq2+fdtotal18009.80.12+3.7=1201.51060.122+4400dtoatldtotal=15m

Hence, the approximate total distance that the cab will move before coming to rest is,dtotal=15m.

An outfielder throws a baseball with an initial speed of 81.8 mi/h. Just before an infielder catches the ball at the same level, the ball鈥檚 speed is 110 ft/s. In foot-pounds, by how much is the mechanical energy of the ball鈥揈arth system reduced because of air drag? (The weight of a baseball is 9.0 oz)

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.

A volcanic ash flow is moving across horizontal ground when it encounters a10upslope. The front of the flow then travels 920 mup the slope before stopping. Assume that the gases entrapped in the flow lift the flow and thus make the frictional force from the ground negligible; assume also that the mechanical energy of the front of the flow is conserved. What was the initial speed of the front of the flow?

Figure 8-31 shows a ball with mass m=0.341kgattached to the end of a thin rod with lengthL=0.452mand negligible mass. The other end of the rod is pivoted so that the ball can move in a vertical circle. The rod is held horizontally as shown and then given enough of a downward push to cause the ball to swing down and around and just reach the vertically up position, with zero speed there. How much work is done on the ball by the gravitational force from the initial point to (a) the lowest point (b) the highest point (c) the point on the right level with the initial point?If the gravitational potential energy of the ball-Earth system is taken to be zero at the initial point, what is it when the ball reaches (d) the lowest point (e) the highest point, and (f) the point on the right level with the initial point? (g) Suppose the rod were pushed harder so that the ball passed through the highest point with a nonzero speed. WouldUgfrom the lowest point to the highest point then be greater than, less than, or the same as it was when the ball stopped at the highest point?
