A 500 g steel block rotates on a steel table while attached to a 1.2-m-long hollow tube as shown in FIGURE CP8.70. Compressed air fed through the tube and ejected from a nozzle on the back of the block exerts a thrust force of 4.0 N perpendicular to the tube.

The maximum tension the tube can withstand without breaking is 50 N. If the block starts from rest, how many revolutions does it make before the tube breaks?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The number of revolution before is breaks is : 0.995

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Mass of block = 500 g = 0.5 kg

Radius of rotation = 1.2-m-long

Thrust force of 4.0 N perpendicular to the tube.

The maximum tension the tube can withstand without breaking is 50 N.

02

Explanation

As the thrust is perpendicular to the tube. so , the tangential component of the thrust force is Ft=4N

and radial component Fr=0

Lets find the angular acceleration of the block

α=Ftmr

Substitute the values

α=4N(0.5kg)×(1.2m)=6.667rad/s2

We can find the angular velocity when it breaks by equating radial force with maximum withstand force

mrӬ2=50NӬ2=50Nmr∣Ӭ2=50N0.5kg×1.2mӬ=9.129rad/s

Use this angular speed and acceleration to find the rotations made.

Ӭ2=Ӭ02+2αθθ=Ӭ2-Ӭ022aθ=(9.129rad/s)2-(0rad/s)22×(6.667rad/s2)θ=6.25rad=0.995rotation

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?

The father of Example 8.2 stands at the summit of a conical hill as he spins his 20 kg child around on a 5.0 kg cart with a 2.0-m-long rope. The sides of the hill are inclined at 20o­. He
again keeps the rope parallel to the ground, and friction is negligible. What rope tension will allow the cart to spin with the same 14 rpm it had in the example?

A satellite orbiting the moon very near the surface has a period of 110min. What is free-fall acceleration on the surface of the moon?

Communications satellites are placed in circular orbits where they stay directly over a fixed point on the equator as the earth rotates. These are called geosynchronous orbits. The altitude of a geosynchronous orbit is 3.58×107m(≈22,000miles).

a. What is the period of a satellite in a geosynchronous orbit?

b. Find the value of g at this altitude.

c. What is the weight of a2000kgsatellite in a geosynchronous orbit?

A 4.0*1010kg asteroid is heading directly toward the center of the earth at a steady 20km/s. To save the planet, astronauts strap a giant rocket to the asteroid perpendicular to its direction of travel. The rocket generates 5.0*109N of thrust. The rocket is fired when the asteroid is 4.0*106km away from earth. You can ignore the earth’s gravitational force on the asteroid and their rotation about the sun.

a. If the mission fails, how many hours is it until the asteroid impacts the earth?

b. The radius of the earth is 6400km. By what minimum angle must the asteroid be deflected to just miss the earth?

c. What is the actual angle of deflection if the rocket fires at full thrust for300s before running out of fuel?
