Question: A small button placed on a horizontal rotating platform with diameter 0.520 m will revolve with the platform when it is brought up to a speed of 40.0rev/min, provided the button is no more than 0.220 m from the axis. (a) What is the coefficient of static friction between the button and the platform? (b) How far from the axis can the button be placed, without slipping, if the platform rotates at 60.0rev/min?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The coefficient of static friction is, 0.40.

b) The distance from the axis is, 0.099 m.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The given data listed below as,

  • The diameter of horizontal rotating platform is, d=0.520m.
  • The revolution speed of button is, ν=40.0rev/min.
  • The distance of button from the axis is, r=0.220m.
02

Significance static friction

If on application of a force the body does not move, this means that the sliding tendency in the body is cancelled by a force acting between the surface of body and the base. This force is known as static friction.

03

Determination of coefficient of static friction.

Part (a)

the angular velocity is given as-

Ӭ=2πν

Here, νis the revolution speed per minute.

for ν=40.0rev/min, the above equation becomes-

Ó¬=2Ï€(40rev/min)=2Ï€4060rad/sÓ¬=4.19rad/sÓ¬=2Ï€(40rev/min)=2Ï€4060rad/sÓ¬=4.19rad/s\

Hence, the angular velocity is, 4.19rad/s.

Centripetal force is given as-

F=mÓ¬2r

Here Ó¬is the angular velocity, and r is the distance of button from axis, m is the mass of the object.

The expression for the frictional force can be expressed as,

F=μmg

Here, μis the coefficient of static friction, g is the acceleration due to gravity.

for F=mÓ¬2r, the above equation becomes-

mӬ2r=μmgμg=Ӭ2r

for g=9.81m/s2, Ó¬=4.19rad/sand data-custom-editor="chemistry" r=0.220mthe above equation becomes-

μ×9.81m/s2=(4.19rad/s)2(0.220m)μ=0.40

Hence, required coefficient of static friction is, 0.40.

04

Determination of distance from the axis.

Part (b)

the angular velocity is given as,

Ӭ=2πν

For ν=60.0rev/minthe above equation becomes-

Ó¬=2Ï€(60rev/min)=2Ï€6060rad/sÓ¬=6.28rad/s

Hence, the angular velocity is, 6.28rad/s.

Centripetal force is given as-

F=mÓ¬2r

The expression for the frictional force can be expressed as,

F=μmg

for F=mÓ¬2r, the above equation becomes-

mӬ2r=μmgμg=Ӭ2r

For g=9.81m/s2, Ӭ=6.28rad/sand μ=0.40the above equation becomes-

(0.40)(9.81m/s2)=(6.28rad/s)2rr=0.099m

Hence, required distance is, 0.099 m.

A closed and elevated vertical cylindrical tank with diameter 2.00 m contains water to a depth of 0.800 m. A worker accidently pokes a circular hole with diameter 0.0200 m in the bottom of the tank. As the water drains from the tank, compressed air above the water in the tank maintains a gauge pressure of 5 X 103Pa at the surface of the water. Ignore any effects of viscosity. (a) Just after the hole is made, what is the speed of the water as it emerges from the hole? What is the ratio of this speed to the efflux speed if the top of the tank is open to the air? (b) How much time does it take for all the water to drain from the tank? What is the ratio of this time to the time it takes for the tank to drain if the top of the tank is open to the air?

A particle of mass 3m is located 1.00 mfrom a particle of mass m.

(a) Where should you put a third mass M so that the net gravitational force on M due to the two masses is precisely zero?

(b) Is the equilibrium of M at this point stable or unstable (i) for points along the line connecting m and 3m, and (ii) for points along the line passing through M and perpendicular to the line connecting m and 3m?

Four identical masses of 8.00kg each are placed at the corners of a square whose side length is 2.00m. What is the net gravitational force (magnitude and direction) on one of the masses, due to the other three?

Question-. (a) Does it make sense to say that a vector is negative? Why? (b) Does it make sense to say that one vector is the negative of another? Why? Does your answer here contradict what you said in part (a)?
