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.

A particle moving at nearly the speed of light (v≈c) passes through a region where it is subjected to a magnetic force of constant magnitude that is always perpendicular to the momentum and has a magnitude of 2×10-10N. As a result, the particle moves along a circular arc with a radius of 8m. What is the magnitude of the momentum of this particle?

A rope is attached to a block, as shown in Figure 5.64. The rope pulls on the block with a force of210N, at an angle ofθ=23°to the horizontal (this force is equal to the tension in the rope).

(a) What is thexcomponent of the force on the block due to the rope?

(b) What is the ycomponent of the force on the block due to the rope?

You pull with a force of255 N on a rope that is attached to a block of mass 30 kg, and the block slides across the floor at a constant speed of 1.1 m/s. The rope makes an angle θ=40∘with the horizontal. Both the force and the velocity of the block are in the xyplane.

(a) Express the tension force exerted by the rope on the block as a vector.

(b) Express the force exerted by the floor on the block as a vector.
