Two wires are tied to the 300 g sphere shown in FIGURE P8.46. The sphere revolves in a horizontal circle at a constant speed of 7.5 m/s. What is the tension in each of the wires?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Tension in each wire is T1 = 14.17 N and T2=8.30 N

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Mass of sphere= 300 g = 0.3 kg

Length of wire is 1 m

Speed v= 7.5 m/s.

02

Explanation

First draw the free body diagram and then equate forces

Horizontal Components:

T1cosθ+T2cosθ=mv2R....................................(1)

Vertical components

T1sinθ-T2sinθ-mg=0..................................(2)

From trigonometric ratio we get

R=0.866 m

Solve equation(1) and (2)

Multiply by sinθ to equation(1) and by cosθ to equation (2), we get

T1cosθsinθ+T2cosθsinθ=mv2Rsinθ..........(3)

T1sinθcosθ-T2sinθcosθ-mgcosθ=0........(4)

By adding equation (3) and (4) , we get

T1=(msin2θ)((v2sinθR)+gcosθ)

Substitute the given values we get

T1=(0.3kgsin2(30o))(((7.5m/s)2(sin30o)0.866m)+((9.8m/s2)cosθ)T1=14.17N

Substitute the value of T1 in the equation (2) and solve for T2, we get

localid="1649070587054" T2sinθ=T1sinθ-mgT2sin30o=14.17Nsin30o-(0.3kg)(9.8m/s2)SolveforT2,weget.T2=8.30N

A concrete highway curve of radius 70mis banked at a 15°angle. What is the maximum speed with which a 1500kg rubber tired car can take this curve without sliding?

Two wires are tied to the 2.0 kg sphere shown in FIGURE P8.45. The sphere revolves in a horizontal circle at constant speed.

You’ve taken your neighbor’s young child to the carnival to ride the rides. She wants to ride The Rocket. Eight rocket-shaped cars hang by chains from the outside edge of a large steel disk. A vertical axle through the center of the ride turns the disk, causing the cars to revolve in a circle. You’ve just finished taking physics, so you decide to figure out the speed of the cars while you wait. You estimate that the disk is 5m in diameter and the chains are 6m long. The ride takes 10s to reach full speed, then the cars swing out until the chains are 20° from vertical. What is the cars’ speed?

As a science fair project, you want to launch an 800g model rocket straight up and hit a horizontally moving target as it passes 30m above the launch point. The rocket engine provides a constant thrust of 15.0N. The target is approaching at a speed of 15m/s. At what horizontal distance between the target and the rocket should you launch?

A motorcycle daredevil plans to ride up a 2.0-m-high, 20°ramp, sail across a 10-m-wide pool filled with hungry crocodiles, and land at ground level on the other side. He has done this stunt many times and approaches it with confidence. Unfortunately, the motorcycle engine dies just as he starts up the ramp. He is going 11m/sat that instant, and the rolling friction of his rubber tires (coefficient 0.02) is not negligible. Does he survive, or does he become crocodile food? Justify your answer by calculating the distance he travels through the air after leaving the end of the ramp.
