Chapter 6: Q6-16Q (page 138)

Describe precisely what is 鈥渨rong鈥� physically in the famous Escher drawing shown in Fig. 6鈥�32.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The drawing is physically wrong because after falling, the water goes up again without any external support.

Step by step solution

01

Understanding the picture

The given picture shows a waterfall. Here, the water is falling from an initial height to a wheel, which causes the wheel to rotate. After this, the same water goes in a zig-zag manner and finally reaches its initial starting height on its own.

02

Arriving at a conclusion

The direction of the flow of water in the figure is not practically possible. The water cannot flow back to its initial height without any external force aiding it.

For example, the water will flow downwards through a pipe on its own. But to make the water flow upwards, one should use a motor to pump the water.

So, as the water cannot move upwards on its own, the picture is not physically correct.

(III) An engineer is designing a spring to be placed at the bottom of an elevator shaft. If the elevator cable breaks when the elevator is at a height h above the top of the spring, calculate the value that the spring constant k should have so that passengers undergo an acceleration of no more than 5.0 g when brought to rest. Let M be the total mass of the elevator and passengers.

How long will it take a 2750-W motor to lift a 385-kg piano to a sixth-story window 16.0 m above?

You have two springs that are identical except that spring 1 is stiffer than spring 2 \(\left( {{k_{\bf{1}}}{\bf{ > }}{k_{\bf{2}}}} \right)\). On which spring is more work done: (a) if they are stretched using the same force; (b) if they are stretched the same distance?

Analyze the motion of a simple swinging pendulum in terms of energy, (a) ignoring friction, and (b) taking friction into account. Explain why a grandfather clock has to be wound up.
