Question:A3.00-kgbox that is several hundred meters above the earth’s surface is suspended from the end of a short vertical rope of negligible mass. A time-dependent upward force is applied to the upper end of the rope and results in a tension in the rope ofTt=36.0N/st. The box is at rest att = 0. The only forces on the box are the tension in the rope and gravity. (a) What is the velocity of the box at (i)t=1.00sand (ii)t=3.00s? (b) What is the maximum distance that the box descends below its initial position? (c) At what value ofdoes the box return to its initial position?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The velocity at t=1.00sis 3.8m/sand the velocity at t=3.00sis -24.6m/s.

(b) The maximum distance that the box descends below is 0.03m.

(c) The box returns to its initial position at 1.63s.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data can be listed below as:

  • The mass of the box is m=3.00kg.
  • The equation of the tension in the rope is Tt=36.0N/st.
02

Significance of the tension

Tension is described as the force that acts on the body by virtue of its elastic nature. It always acts in an action-reaction pair.

03

(a) Determination of the velocity at (i) t = 1.00s

The equation of the acceleration of the box can be obtained from the relation-

mat=mg-Ttat=g-Ttm

Here, atis the acceleration of the box at time t, g is the acceleration due to gravity, T(t) is the tension in the rope at time t, and m is the mass of the box.

Integrating the above equation with respect to the time t, the velocity of the box can be obtained.

Vt=∫atdt=∫g-Ttmdt=∫g-36.0N/stmdt=gt-36.0N/st22m························1

Here, V(t) is the velocity of the box with respect to the time .

for g=9.8m/s2, t=1.00s, T=36.0N/s1.00sand m=3.00kg; equation (1) becomes-.

Vt=9.8m/s21.00s-36.0N/s1.00s22×3.00kg=9.8m/s-36.0N/s×1kg·m/s21N1.00s26.00kg=9.8m/s-36.0kg·m/s31.00s26.00kg=9.8m/s-36.0kg·m/s6.00kg

On further solving:

Vt=9.8m/s-6.0m/s=3.8m/s

Thus, the velocity at t=1.00sis 3.8m/s.

04

(a) Determination of the velocity at (ii) t = 3.00s. 

The equation (i) has been recalled below:

Vt=gt-36.0N/st22m

for g=9.8m/s2, t = 3.00s, T=36.0N/s3.00sand m=3.00kg; equation (1) becomes-.

Vt=9.8m/s23.00s-36.0N/s3.00s22×3.00kg=29.4m/s-36.0N/s×1kg·m/s21N9.00s26.00kg=29.4m/s-36.0kg·m/s39.00s26.00kg=29.4m/s-324kg·m/s6.00kg

On further solving:

Vt=29.4m/s-54m/s=-24.6m/s

Thus, the velocity at (i) t=3.00sis -24.6m/s.

05

(b) Determination of the maximum distance

The equation (i) has been recalled below:

Vt=gt-36.0N/st22m

At maximum distance, the velocity of the box should be zero.

for g=9.8m/s2, V(t) = 0, T=36.0N/s3.00sand m=3.00kg; equation (1) becomes-.

0=9.8m/s2t-36.0N/st223.00kg9.8m/s2t-36.0N/s×1kg·m/s21Nt26.00kg=09.8m/s2t-6.0m/s3t2=0

On further solving

9.8m/s2t=6.0m/s3t2t=9.8m/s26.0m/s3t=1.63s

Integrating equation (i) with respect to the time t, the distance moved by the box can be obtained.

dt=∫Vtdt=∫gt-36.0N/st22mdt=gt22-36.0N/st33×2m=gt22-36.0N/st36m·····················2

for g=9.8m/s2, t=1.63s, and m=3.00kg; equation (1) becomes-

dt=9.8m/s21.63s22-36.0N/s1.63s343.00kg=13.02m-36.0N/s×1kg·m/s21N1.63s312.00kg=13.02m-12.99m=0.03m

Thus, the maximum distance that the box descends below is0.03m.

06

(c) Determination of the time t.

When the box returns to its initial position, then the distance covered by the box is zero.

for g=9.8m/s2, d(t) = 0,T=36.0N/st and m=3.00kg; equation (1) becomes-

0=9.8m/s2t22-36.0N/st343.00kg4.9m/s2t2-36.0N×1kg·m/s21N12.00kgt3=04.9m/s2t2-36.0kg·m/s312.00kgt3=04.9m/s2t2=3m/s3t3t=1.63s

Hence, further as:

4.9m/s2t2=3m/s3t3t=1.63s

Thus, the box returns to its initial position at 1.63.

Four astronauts are in a spherical space station. (a) If, as is typical, each of them breathes about 500 cm3 of air with each breath, approximately what volume of air (in cubic meters) do these astronauts breathe in a year? (b) What would the diameter (in meters) of the space station have to be to contain all this air?

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)?

Water flows steadily from an open tank as in Fig. P12.81. The elevation of point 1 is 10.0 m, and the elevation of points 2 and 3 is 2.00 m. The cross-sectional area at point 2 is 0.0480 m2; at point 3 it is 0.0160 m2. The area of the tank is very large compared with the cross-sectional area of the pipe. Assuming that Bernoulli’s equation applies, compute (a) the discharge rate in cubic meters per second and (b) the gauge pressure at point 2.

In an experiment, a shearwater (a seabird) was taken from its nest, flown 5150 km away, and released. The bird found its way back to its nest 13.5 days after release. If we place the origin at the nest and extend the +x-axis to the release point, what was the bird’s average velocity in (a) for the return flight and (b) for the whole episode, from leaving the nest to returning?

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?
