(a) The tension in all of the wires is 7840N,6030Nand 4020Nrespectively.

(b) The strain in each wire is 0.063,0.048and 0.032respectively.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data can be listed below as:

  • The mass of the load ism=800kg.
  • The diameter of the wires isd=1.1mm×10-3m1m=1.1×10-3m.
  • The value of the young’s modulus of the material isy=1.3×1011N/m2.
02

Significance of Newton’s second law and the young’s modulus

Newton’s second law states that the force exerted on an object is equal to the product of the mass and the acceleration of that object.

Young’s modulus is described as the ratio of the stress to the strain. The stress is the force exerted by an object per unit area, and the strain is described as the elongation in length.

Step 3:- (a) Determination of the tension in the wires

The free-body diagram of the acting forces has been drawn below:

The main forces are F1,F2,F3and the component of the main forces acting in the xdirection is and F3x,andydirection is F2yandF3y.

From Newton’s second law, the equation of the tension force applied in the first wire is expressed as:

F1=mg

Here, mis the mass of the load and gis the acceleration due to gravity that has the value 9.8m/s2.

Substitute 800kgformand9.8m/s2for g.

F1=800kg×9.8m/s2=7840kg.m/s2=7840kg.m/s2×1N1kg.m/s2=7840N

There are two components in the tension force of the second and the third wire are F2yandF2xandF3xandF3y. According to the diagram, the force F2andF3makes the angleθ1=60°andθ2=40°with the xaxis respectively.

The equation of the change in the momentum with time in the y-direction is expressed as:

dp→ydt=0=Fnet.y

Here, dp→ydtis the change in the momentum and Fnet.yis the net force acting in the y-direction.

Here, from the above figure, the summation of the forces F1,F2y,F3yis0, then this equation can also be written as:

F2y+F3y=F1F2cos90-θ1+F3cos90-θ2=F1 …(¾±)

Substituting 60°forθ1and40°forθ2in the above equation.

0.86F2+0.64F3=7840

The equation of the change in the momentum with time in the x-direction is expressed as:

dp→xdt=0=Fnet.x

Here, dp→ydtis the change in the momentum and Fnet.xis the net force acting in the x-direction

As these two forces F3xare in opposite directions, then the summation of these forces is equal to 0.

F2x-F3x=0F2cosθ1-F3cosθ2=0F2=F3cosθ2cosθ1

Substituting 60°forθ1and40°forθ2in the above equation.

F2=F3cos40°cos60°F2=1.53F3 …(¾±¾±)

Substituting 1.53F3forF2in the equation (i):

0.86F2+0.64F3=7840N0.861.53F3+0.64F3=7840N1.95F3=7840NF3=4020N

Substitute 4020NforF3in the equation (ii).

F2=1.5F3=1.5×4020N=6030N

Thus, the tension in all of the wires is7840N,6030Nand4020N respectively.

Step 4:- (b) Determination of the strain in each wire

The equation of stress is expressed as:

σ=FA

Here, Fis the force exerted on each wire and Ais the area of the wire.

The equation of strain is expressed as:

ε=∆lI

Here, lis the original length of the wire and ∆lis the change in the length of the wire.

The equation of the young’s modulus for a wire is expressed as:

E=F/A∆l/l∆l/l=F/AE …(¾±¾±¾±)

Here, Fis the force exerted on each wire, Ais the area of the wire, and∆l/lis the fractional stretch of the wire.

As the diameter of the wire is same, hence, the area of the wires is calculated as:

A=Ï€r2=Ï€d22

Here, ris the radius of the wire and dis the diameter of the wire.

Substitute the value in the above equation:

A=π1.1×10-3m22=0.95×10-6m2

Now, for the first wire, substituting 0.95×10-6m2forA,7840NforF,and1.3×1011N/m2forEin the above equation.

∆l/l=7840N/0.95×10-6m21.3×1011N/m2=7.448×10-3N/m21.3×1011N/m2=0.063

Now, for the second wire, substituting localid="1656912078310" 0.95×10-6m2forA,6030NforFand1.3×1011N/m2forEin the above equation.

∆l/l=6030N/0.95×10-6m21.3×1011N/m2=5.7285×10-3N/m21.3×1011N/m2=0.048

Now, for the third wire, substituting 0.95×10-6m2forA,4020NforFand1.3×1011N/m2forEin the above equation.

∆l/l=4020N/0.95×10-6m21.3×1011N/m2=3.819×10-3N/m21.3×1011N/m2=0.032

Thus, the strain in each wire is0.063,0.048and0.032respectively.

A student said, "When the Moon goes around the Earth, there is an inward force due to the Moon and an outward force due to centrifugal force, so the net force on the Moon is zero." Give two or more physics reasons why this is wrong.

In outer space two identical spheres are connected by a taut steel cable, and the whole apparatus rotates about its centre. The mass of each sphere is 60kg. The distance between centres of the spheres is3.2m. At a particular instant the velocity of one of the spheres is(0.5,0) m/s and the velocity of the other sphere is 0,-5,0 m/s. What is the tension in the cable?

In Figure 5.72 m1=12 kgand m2=5 kg. The kinetic coefficient of friction between m1and the floor is 0.3and that between m2and the floor is 0.5. You push with a force of magnitude F=110 N. (a) What is the acceleration of the center of mass? (b) What is the magnitude of the force that m1exerts on m2?

In the 1970 sthe astronomer Vera Rubin made observations of distant galaxies that she interpreted as indicating that perhaps 90%of the mass in a galaxy is invisible to us ("dark matter"). She measured the speed with which stars orbit the center of a galaxy, as a function of the distance of the stars from the center. The orbital speed was determined by measuring the Doppler shift of the light from the stars, an effect that makes light shift toward the red end of the spectrum ("red shift") if the star has a velocity component away from us, and makes light shift toward the blue end of the spectrum if the star has a velocity component toward us.

She found that for stars farther out from the center of the galaxy, the orbital speed of the star hardly changes with distance from the center of the galaxy, as is indicated in Figure 5.79. The visible components of the galaxy (stars, and illuminated clouds of dust) are most dense at the center of the galaxy and thin out rapidly as you move away from the center, so most of the visible mass is near the center. (a) Predict the speed v ofa star going around the center of a galaxy in a circular orbit, as a function of the star's distance r from the center of the galaxy,assumingthat almost all of the galaxy's mass M is concentrated at the center.

(b) Construct a logical argument as to why Rubin concluded that much of the mass of a galaxy is not visible to us. Reason from principles discussed in this chapter, and your analysis of part (a). Explain your reasoning. You need to address the following issues: (i) Rubin's observations are not consistent with your prediction in (a). (ii) Most of the visible matter is in the center of the galaxy. (iii) Your prediction in (a) assumed that most of the mass is at the center.

This issue has not yet been resolved, and is still a current topic of astrophysics research. Here is a discussion by Rubin of her work: ''Dark Matter in Spiral Galaxies '' by Vera C. Rubin, Scientific American, June 1983 (96-108). You can find several graphs of the rotation curves for spiral galaxies on page 101 of this article.

At a particular instant the magnitude of the momentum of a planet is 2.3×1029kg.m/s, and the force exerted on it by the star it is orbiting is 8.9×1022N. The angle between the planet's momentum and the gravitational force exerted by the star is 123°.

(a) What is the parallel component of the force on the planet by the star?

(b) What will the magnitude of the planet's momentum be after 9h?
