Chapter 7: Q. 12 (page 176)

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

Short Answer

Expert verified

The reading of the spring scale is5kg.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The figure shows two masses of5kg at rest. The string is massless and the pulleys are frictionless.

02

Explanation

The masses attached at the ends of the string will exert equal force on the string.

Since the pulley is frictionless and string is massless the tension will remain constant throughout the string and the tension will be equal to weight of 5 kg .

hence the reading of the spring scale will be 5kg.

03

Final answer

The spring scale reading is5kg.

The foot of a 55kgsprinter is on the ground for 0.25swhile her body accelerates from rest to 2m/s.

a. Is the friction between her foot and the ground static friction or kinetic friction?

b. What is the magnitude of the friction force?

Two-thirds of the weight of a 1500kg car rests on the drive wheels. What is the maximum acceleration of this car on a concrete surface?

The century-old ascensores in Valparaiso, Chile, are picturesque cable cars built on stilts to keep the passenger compartments level as they go up and down the steep hillsides. As FIGURE P7.43shows, one car ascends as the other descends. The cars use a two-cable arrangement to compensate for friction; one cable passing around a large pulley connects the cars, the second is pulled by a small motor. Suppose the mass of both cars (with passengers) is 1500kg, the coefficient of rolling friction is 0.020, and the cars move at constant speed. What is the tension in (a) the connecting cable and (b) the cable to the motor?

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?

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.
