A 500 g steel block rotates on a steel table while attached to a 2.0-m-long massless rod. Compressed air fed through the rod is ejected from a nozzle on the back of the block, exerting a thrust force of 3.5 N. The nozzle is 70o­ from the radial line, as shown in FIGURE P8.62. The block starts from rest.
a. What is the block’s angular velocity after 10 rev?
b. What is the tension in the rod after 10 rev?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Block’s angular velocity after 10 rev is 20.33 rad/sec or 194.1372 rpm

b) Tension in the rod after 10 rev is T=412.111 N

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1: Given Information

Mass of block = 500 g =0.5 kg
Length of rod = 2 m
Thrust force = 3.5 N.
The nozzle is at an angle of 70o from the radial line as shown.
The block starts from rest

02

Part(a) Step 2: Explanation

The centripetal force is calculated by

mv2/r ……………………..(1)

The angular velocity of the mass revolving around a circle is calculated by

Ӭ2=Ӭ02+2αθ...............................(2)

Now break the thrust in tangential and radial components

Ft=3.5sin(70°)NFr=3.5cos(70°)N

Now find angular acceleration of the block

α=Ftmr

Substitute values

α=(3.5N)sin(70°)(0.5kg×2m)=3.289rad/s2

Substitute in equation (2) to get angular velocity after 10 rev

Ó¬2=02+2(3.289rad/s2)(20Ï€rad)Ó¬=20.33rad/s

03

Part(b) Step 1 : Given information

Mass of block = 500 g =0.5 kg
Length of rod = 2 m
Thrust force = 3.5 N.
The nozzle is at an angle of 70o from the radial line as shown.
The block starts from rest.

04

Part(b) Step 2 : Explanation

The centripetal force acting on the block is calculated by substituting values in equation (1) (mv2)/r

substitute v= Ó¬r

mv2r=(m(rÓ¬)2)r=mrÓ¬2

Tension in the rod after 10 rev is

T=mrӬ2-FrSubstitutevaluesT=(0.5kg)(2m)(2(3.289rad/s2)(20πrad)-3.5cos(70°)T=412.11N

Elm Street has a pronounced dip at the bottom of a steep hill before going back uphill on the other side. Your science teacher has asked everyone in the class to measure the radius of curvature of the dip. Some of your classmates are using surveying equipment, but you decide to base your measurement on what you’ve learned in physics. To do so, you sit on a spring scale, drive through the dip at different speeds, and for each speed record the scale’s reading as you pass through the bottom of the dip. Your data are as follows:
