Chapter 6: Q.31 (page 155)

A 50,000kg locomotive is traveling at 10m/swhen its engine and brakes both fail. How far will the locomotive roll before it comes to a stop? Assume the track is level.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The locomotive roll about2.6脳103mbefore it stops.

Step by step solution

01

Content Introduction

Deceleration is described as a reduction in speed as the body advances away from the beginning position. Negative acceleration is another name for deceleration.

02

Content Explanation

The net deceleration is provided with the formula from the equilibrium of forces F=ma渭smg=maa=渭sg

The rolling friction between the road and the rubber is渭s=0.002

Here we are given, vi=0,vf=10

vf2+vi2=2ass=(10)22脳0.002脳9.81s=2.6脳103m

An accident victim with a broken leg is being placed in traction. The patient wears a special boot with a pulley attached to the sole. The foot and boot together have a mass of 4.0kg, and the doctor has decided to hang a 6.0kgmass from the rope. The boot is held suspended by the ropes, as shown in FIGUREP6.41, and does not touch the bed.

a. Determine the amount of tension in the rope by using Newton鈥檚 laws to analyze the hanging mass.

b. The net traction force needs to pull straight out on the leg. What is the proper angle u for the upper rope?

c. What is the net traction force pulling on the leg?
