Chapter 7: Q. 19 (page 178)

A woman living in a third-story apartment is moving out. Rather than carrying everything down the stairs, she decides to pack her belongings into crates, attach a frictionless pulley to her balcony railing, and lower the crates by rope. How hard must she pull on the horizontal end of the rope to lower a 25kgcrate at steady speed?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The horizontal force is242.25N

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Mass of the crate attached to a frictionless pulley, m=25kg

The crater is moving at a steady speed.

02

Explanation

The horizontal force on the rope will balance the weight of the crate and will not allow it to fall with acceleration , so it will fall with uniform velocity if horizontal force becomes equal to weight of crate.

F=mgm=25kgg=9.81m/s2F=25kg9.81m/s2=245.25N

The horizontal force is 245.25N

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 mosquito collides head-on with a car traveling 60mph. Is the force of the mosquito on the car larger than, smaller than, or equal to the force of the car on the mosquito? Explain.

Your forehead can withstand a force of about 6.0kNbefore fracturing, while your cheekbone can withstand only about 1.3kN. Suppose a 140gbaseball traveling at 30m/sstrikes your head and stops in 1.5ms

a. What is the magnitude of the force that stops the baseball?

b. What force does the baseball exert on your head? Explain.

c. Are you in danger of a fracture if the ball hits you in the forehead? On the cheek?

Teams red and blue are having a tug-of-war. According to Newton鈥檚 third law, the force with which the red team pulls on the blue team exactly equals the force with which the blue team pulls on the red team. How can one team ever win? Explain

A 50-cm-diameter, 400gbeach ball is dropped with a 4.0mgant riding on the top. The ball experiences air resistance, but the ant does not. What is the magnitude of the normal force exerted on the ant when the ball鈥檚 speed is 2.0m/s?
