Chapter 7: Q. 11 (page 176)

The given figure shows two masses at rest. The string is massless and the pulley is frictionless. The spring scale reads in kg. What is the reading of the scale?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The reading of the spring scale is 5kg.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The given figure shows two masses of 5kgat rest. The string is massless and the pulley is frictionless.

02

Explanation

According to the third law of motion "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction".

Therefore the masses attached at the ends of the string will exert equal forces on the string.

Since the pulley is frictionless, and the string is massless, the tension will remain constant throughout the string.

The tension in the string is equal to weight of 5kg,hence the reading of the spring scale will be 5kgbecause it will read the tension in the string.

03

 Step 3 : Final answer

The spring scale reading is5kg.

The 1.0kgphysics book in FIGURE P7.41is connected by a string to a 500gcoffee cup. The book is given a push up the slope and released with a speed of 3.0m/s. The coefficients of friction are 渭s=0.50and 渭k=0.20

a. How far does the book slide?

b. At the highest point, does the book stick to the slope, or does it slide back down?

A mobile at the art museum has a 2.0kgsteel cat and a 4.0kgsteel dog suspended from a lightweight cable, as shown in FIGURE EX7.23.It is found that 胃1=20掳when the center rope is adjusted to be perfectly horizontal. What are the tension and the angle of rope 3?

The cable cars in San Francisco are pulled along their tracks by an underground steel cable that moves along at 9.5mph.The cable is driven by large motors at a central power station and extends, via an intricate pulley arrangement, for several miles beneath the city streets. The length of a cable stretches by up to 100ftduring its lifetime. To keep the tension constant, the cable passes around a 1.5mdiameter 鈥渢ensioning pulley鈥� that rolls back and forth on rails, as shown inFIGURE100ft. A 2000kgblock is attached to the tensioning pulley鈥檚 cart, via a rope and pulley, and is suspended in a deep hole. What is the tension in the cable car鈥檚 cable?

A long, 1.0kgrope hangs from a support that breaks, causing the rope to fall, if the pull exceeds 40N. A student team has built a 2.0kgrobot 鈥渕ouse鈥� that runs up and down the rope. What maximum acceleration can the robot have鈥攂oth magnitude and direction鈥攚ithout the rope falling?
