You swing a bucket full of water in a vertical circle at the end of a rope. The mass of the bucket plus the water is 3.5kg.The center of mass of the bucket plus the water moves in a circle of radius. At the instant that the bucket is at the top of the circle, the speed of the bucket is 4 m/s. What is the tension in the rope at this instant?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The tension in the rope at this instant is 8.78N.

Step by step solution

01

Given

The mass of the bucket plus the water is. m=3.5kgThe center of mass of the bucket plus the water moves in a circle of radiusR=1.3m .The speed of the bucket is v=4m/s

02

Definition of force.

A force is a push or pull on an object is because of the interaction of the thing with another object. Every time two things interact, a force is exerted on each of them .The acted force may be of attraction or of repulsion .The two items no longer feel the force after the interaction ends

03

Find the tension in the rope at this instant.

The net force on an object is equal to the rate of change of momentum and can be written as the sum of two components.

The parallel rate of change of momentumdp⇶Ädt and the perpendicular rate of change of momentumdp⇶Ädt are the two elements that we are concerned with.

Fnet=dp⇶Ädt=dp⇶Ädtll+dp⇶Ädt

In this case, the force acting on the object is in +y or -y direction, therefore, there is no parallel force and equals zero.

dp⇶Ädt=0

As a result, the rate change is the direction change owing to the perpendicular rate of change.

The net force exerted on the object equals the rate change of the momentum and the magnitude of the perpendicular rate change at speeds much less than the speed of light is given by

Fnet=dp⇶Ädt=mv2R

Also, the object is under two forces, the tension forceFTof the string and its weight, so the net force of both forces is

Fnet=FT+mg

Therefore,

FT+mg=mv2RFT=mv2R-mg

Now put the values for m, v, g , and R to get the tension force

Fr=mv2R-mg=3.5kg4m/s21.3m-3.5kg9.8m/s2=8.78N

Thus, the tension in the rope at this instant is 8.78N.

You're driving a vehicle of mass 1350kgand you need to make a turn on a flat road. The radius of curvature of the turn is. The coefficient of static friction and the coefficient of kinetic friction are both 0.25.

(a) What is the fastest speed you can drive and still make it around the turn? Invent symbols for the various quantities and solve algebraically before plugging in numbers.

(b) Which of the following statements are true about this situation?

(1) The net force is nonzero and points away from the centre of the kissing circle. (2) The rate of change of the momentum is nonzero and points away from the centre of the kissing circle.

(3) The rate of change of the momentum is nonzero and points toward the centre of the kissing circle.

(4) The momentum points toward the centre of the kissing circle.

(5) The centrifugal force balances the force of the road, so the net force is zero. (6) The net force is nonzero and points two and the centre of the kissing circle.

(c) Look at your algebraic analysis and answer the following question. Suppose that your vehicle had a mass five times as big(6750kg). Now what is the fastest speed you can drive and still make it around the turn?

(d) Look at your algebraic analysis and answer the following question. Suppose that you have the originalvehicle but the turn has a radius twice as large (152 m). What is the fastest speed you can drive and still make it around the turn? This problem shows why high-speed curves on freeways have very large radii of curvature, but low-speed entrance and exit ramps can have smaller radii of curvature.

An800kgload is suspended as shown in Figure 5.69. (a) Calculate the tension in all three wires (that is, the magnitude of the tension force exerted by each of these wires). (b) These wires are made of a material whose value for Young’s modulus is 1.3×1011N/m2. The diameter of the wires is 1.1m. What is the strain (fractional stretch) in each wire?

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?

(a) Many communication satellites are placed in a circular orbit around the Earth at a radius where the period (the time to go around the Earth once) is\(24\;{\rm{h}}\). If the satellite is above some point on the equator, it stays above that point as the Earth rotates, so that as viewed from the rotating Earth the satellite appears to be motionless. That is why you see dish antennas pointing at a fixed point in space. Calculate the radius of the orbit of such a "synchronous" satellite. Explain your calculation in detail.

(b) Electromagnetic radiation including light and radio waves travels at a speed of\(3 \times {10^8}\;{\rm{m}}/{\rm{s}}\). If a phone call is routed through a synchronous satellite to someone not very far from you on the ground, what is the minimum delay between saying something and getting a response? Explain. Include in your explanation a diagram of the situation.

(c) Some human-made satellites are placed in "near-Earth" orbit, just high enough to be above almost all of the atmosphere. Calculate how long it takes for such a satellite to go around the Earth once, and explain any approximations you make.

(d) Calculate the orbital speed for a near-Earth orbit, which must be provided by the launch rocket. (The advantages of near-Earth communications satellites include making the signal delay unnoticeable, but with the disadvantage of having to track the satellites actively and having to use many satellites to ensure that at least one is always visible over a particular region.)

(e) When the first two astronauts landed on the Moon, a third astronaut remained in an orbiter in circular orbit near the Moon's surface. During half of every complete orbit, the orbiter was behind the Moon and out of radio contact with the Earth. On each orbit, how long was the time when radio contact was lost?

In each of the following cases identify all objects in the surroundings that exert forces on the system, and draw a free-body diagram for the system. Assume that air resistance is negligible. (a) You hit a baseball with a bat. Choose the baseball as the system, and consider the instant of contact with the bat. (b) You are playing with a yo-yo. Choose the yo-yo as the system. As the yo-yo moves downward, you pull up on the string.
