A 1.0kgwood block is pressed against a vertical wood wall by the12Nforce shown in FIGUREP6.57. If the block is initially at rest, will it move upward, move downward, or stay at rest?

Short Answer

Expert verified

From the calculation, we see that the force in the downward direction is equal to the force in an upward direction, so the net force on the box is zero. Hence the box will stay at rest.

Step by step solution

01

Given

Mass of the wood block: 1.0kg.

The angle of the force applied: 30.

Coefficient of static friction between wood and wood: 0.20.

A figure:

02

Formula used.

F=mgFf=N=Fh

03

Calculation

The force is applied at an angle of 30. We will dissolve the applied force into horizontal and vertical components as,

Fh=Fcos30Fv=Fsin30

According to the free diagram,

There are three forces acting at a time on a wooden box.

04

Calculation.

Three forces acting at a time on a wooden box are:

  1. Gravitation force (F=mg)downward.
  2. The vertical component of the force (F=Fsin30)- upward.
  3. Frictional force in the opposite of motion, (Ff)-upward.

mg=Fv+Ffmg=Fsin30+Fkmg=Fsin30+Fcos301kg9.8m/s2=12(sin30+0.4cos30)9.8N=12N(0.8464)9.8N=10.15N9.8N10.15N,

So, from the above calculation, we see that the force in the downward direction is equal to the force in an upward direction, so the net force on the box is zero. Hence the box will stay at rest.

05

Conclusion.

The woodblock will stay at rest.

Seat belts and air bags save lives by reducing the forces exerted on the driver and passengers in an automobile collision. Cars are designed with a 鈥渃rumple zone鈥 in the front of the car. In the event of an impact, the passenger compartment decelerates over a distance of about 1 m as the front of the car crumples. An occupant restrained by seat belts and air bags decelerates with the car. By contrast, an unrestrained occupant keeps moving forward with no loss of speed (Newton鈥檚 first law!) until hitting the dashboard or windshield. These are unyielding surfaces, and the unfortunate occupant then decelerates over a distance of only about 5 mm.

a. A 60 kg person is in a head-on collision. The car鈥檚 speed at impact is 15 m/s. Estimate the net force on the person if he or she is wearing a seat belt and if the air bag deploys.

b. Estimate the net force that ultimately stops the person if he or she is not restrained by a seat belt or air bag.
