FIGUREP7.39shows a block of mass m resting on a 20°slope. The block has coefficients of frictionμs=0.80 andμk=0.50 with the surface. It is connected via a massless string over a massless, frictionless pulley to a hanging block of mass 2.0kg.

a. What is the minimum mass m that will stick and not slip?

b. If this minimum mass is nudged ever so slightly, it will start being pulled up the incline. What acceleration will it have?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The minimum mass of the block is 1.8kg.

(b) Acceleration of the block is1.39m/s2.

Step by step solution

01

Given information (part a)

Mass of the block hanging over a pulley, m=2kg

The angle of the plane,ϕ=20°

Coefficient of static friction, μs=0.80

Coefficient of kinematic friction,μk=0.50

02

Explanation (part a)

Consider the equilibrium of the block1

localid="1649648629462" 2kg9.81m/s2-T=0T=19.62N

Consider the equilibrium of the inclined box

localid="1649648590263" mgsin20+μsmgcos20-T=0m×9.81m/s2sin20°+0.8m9.81m/s2cos20°=19.62Nm=1.8kg

Thus, the mass of the block required to stick the system in the equilibrium is 1.8kg.

03

Given information (part b)

Mass of the block hanging over a pulley, m=2kg

The angle of the plane,ϕ=20°

Coefficient of static friction, μs=0.80

Coefficient of kinematic friction, μk=0.50

04

Explanation (part b)

Consider the equilibrium of the block 2

localid="1649648995886" 2kg9.81m/s2-T=2a

Consider the equilibrium of the block 1

localid="1649648969079" role="math" T-mgsin20-μkmgcos20=maT-1.8kg×9.81m/s2sin20°-0.51.8kg9.81m/s2cos20°=1.8kg×a2kg+1.8kga=2kg×9.81m/s2-1.8kg×9.81m/s2sin20°-0.5×1.8kg×9.81m/s2cos(20°)a=1.39m/s2

Acceleration of the block is1.39m/s2.

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 μk=0.40

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

b. What is the acceleration of the 2.0kgblock?

A 2.0-m-long, 500grope pulls a 10kg block of ice across a horizontal, frictionless surface. The block accelerates at 2.0m/s2 . How much force pulls forward on (a) the ice, (b) the rope? Assume that the rope is perfectly horizontal.

You find yourself in the middle of a frozen lake with a surface so slippery μs=μk=0 you cannot walk. However, you happen to have several rocks in your pocket. The ice is extremely hard. It cannot be chipped, and the rocks slip on it just as much as your feet do. Can you think of a way to get to shore?Use pictures, forces, and Newton's laws to explain your reasoning.

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?

Two packages at UPS start sliding down the20°ramp shown in FIGURE P7.33. Package A has a mass of5.0kg and a coefficient of friction of 0.20. Package B has a mass of 10kg and a coefficient of friction of0.15. How long does it take package A to reach the bottom?
