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 coefficient of static friction is 0.60 between the two blocks in FIGURE P7.35. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the lower block and the floor is 0.20. ForceF→causes both blocks to cross a distance of 5.0m, starting from rest. What is the least amount of time in which this motion can be completed without the top block sliding on the lower block?

A 3200kghelicopter is flying horizontally. A 250kgcrate is suspended from the helicopter by a massless cable that is constantly 20°from vertical. What propulsion force F u prop is being provided by the helicopter’s rotor? Air resistance can be ignored. Give your answer in component form in a coordinate system where i^points in the direction of motion and j^points upward.

What is the acceleration of the 3.0kgblock in FIGURECP7.55across the frictionless table?

Hint: Think carefully about the acceleration constraint.

The 10.2kg block in FIGURE P7.37is held in place by a force applied to a rope passing over two massless, frictionless pulleys. Find the tensions T1toT5and the magnitude of force F→.

The 2000kgcable car shown in FIGURE P7.42descends a 200-m-high hill. In addition to its brakes, the cable car controls its speed by pulling an1800kg counterweight up the other side of the hill. The rolling friction of both the cable car and the counterweight are negligible.

a. How much braking force does the cable car need to descend at constant speed?

b. One day the brakes fail just as the cable car leaves the top on its downward journey. What is the runaway car’s speed at the bottom of the hill?
