Chapter 7: Q. 36 (page 179)

The block of massM inFIGURE P7.36 slides on a frictionless surface. Find an expression for the tension in the string

Short Answer

Expert verified

Expression for tension isT=MmgM+m.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

"M" and "m" are the mass of the block.

02

Explanation

Force due to gravity on the block of mass m is mg.

According to the Newton law

Fnet=Mtotal脳a

Fnetis the net force on mass m.

Mtotalis the total mass of both the blocks.

a is the acceleration of the mass m.

localid="1649252977169" mg=M+maa=mgM+m

If the block mass of m is moving downwards then the tension in the spring is

localid="1649253032356" T=mg-ma鈰�鈰�(1)

According to the Newton law

Fnet=Mtotal脳a

where Fnet and a is the net force and acceleration of the mass m respectively.

mg=M+maa=mgM+m

Substitute the value of ain the equation (1)

localid="1649253219152" role="math" T=mg-m2gM+mT=mgM+m-m2gM+mT=Mmg+m2g-m2gM+mT=MmgM+m

The tension in the string is T=MmgM+m

The lower block in FIGURE CP7.53 is pulled on by a rope with a tension force of 20 N. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the lower block and the surface is 0.30. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the lower block and the upper block is also 0.30.

What is the acceleration of the 2.0 kg block?

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?

The 1.0kgblock in FIGURE EX7.24is tied to the wall with a rope. It sits on top of the 2.0kgblock. The lower block is pulled to the right with a tension force of 20N. The coefficient of kinetic friction at both the lower and upper surfaces of the 2.0kgblock is 渭k=0.40

a. What is the tension in the rope attached to the wall?

b. What is the acceleration of the 2.0kgblock?

FIGURECP7.57shows a200ghamster sitting on an 800gwedge-shaped block. The block, in turn, rests on a spring scale. An extra-fine lubricating oil having 渭s=渭k=0is sprayed on the top surface of the block, causing the hamster to slide down. Friction between the block and the scale is large enough that the block does not slip on the scale. What does the scale read, in grams, as the hamster slides down?
