Q.58

Page 181

FIGURECP7.58shows three hanging masses connected by massless strings over two massless, frictionless pulleys.

a. Find the acceleration constraint for this system. It is a single equation relatinglocalid="1649865348893" a1y,a2y,anda3y.Hint:yAisn鈥檛 constant.

b. Find an expression for the tension in string A.Hint: You should be able to write four second-law equations. These, plus the acceleration constraint, are five equations in five unknowns.

c. Suppose:m1=2.5kg,m2=1.5kg,andm3=4.0kg.Find the acceleration of each.

d. The 4.0kgmass would appear to be in equilibrium. Explain why it accelerates.

Block B in the figure rests on a surface for which the static and kinetic coefficients of friction are 0.60and 0.40respectively. The ropes are massless.

What is the maximum mass of block A for which the system remains in equilibrium?

Q. 8

A very smart 3-year-old child is given a wagon for her birthday. She refuses to use it. 鈥淎fter all,鈥 she says, 鈥淣ewton鈥檚 third law says that no matter how hard I pull, the wagon will exert an equal but opposite force on me. So I will never be able to get it to move forward.鈥 What would you say to her in reply?

A 1000kgcar pushes a 2000kgtruck that has a dead battery. When the driver steps on the accelerator, the drive wheels of the car push against the ground with a force of 4500N. Rolling friction can be neglected.

a. What is the magnitude of the force of the car on the truck?

b. What is the magnitude of the force of the truck on the car?

Blocks with masses of 1kg,2kgand3kgare lined up in a row on a frictionless table. All three are pushed forward by a 12Nforce applied to the 1kgblock.

a. How much force does the 2kgblock exert on the 3kgblock?

b. How much force does the 2kgblock exert on the1kgblock?
