Chapter 12: Q.1. (page 329)

Is the center of mass of the dumbbell in FIGURE Q12.1 at point a, b, or c? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The center of mass is at the pointa.

Step by step solution

01

Step.1

Centre of mass is a point within the boundary of system at which the total mass of the system appears to be concentrated such that the system undergoes translator motion by the application of external force.

02

Step.2

The following figure shows the dumbbell.

03

Step.3

About the center of mass, the moment for Mand mwill be equal.

MR=mrMR鈭�mr=0Mm=rR

The ratios of the masses will be equal to the inverse ratio of the distances from the center of mass. From the figure, it is clear that (M>m) and hence (r>R). Therefore, the center of mass will be at point ' a' which satisfies the condition (r>R).

Therefore, at the center of mass is at the point a.

Blocks of mass m1 and m2 are connected by a massless string that passes over the pulley in Figure P12.65. The pulley turns on frictionless bearings. Mass m1 slides on a horizontal, frictionless surface. Mass m2 is released while the blocks are at rest.
a. Assume the pulley is massless. Find the acceleration of m1 and the tension in the string. This is a Chapter 7 review problem.
b. Suppose the pulley has mass mp and radius R. Find the acceleration of m1 and the tensions in the upper and lower portions of the string. Verify that your answers agree with part a if you set mp = 0.
