A 128.0 N carton is pulled up a frictionless baggage ramp inclined at 30.00 above the horizontal by a rope exerting a 72.0 N pull parallel to the ramp’s surface. If the carton travels 5.20 m along the surface of the ramp, calculate the work done on it by (a) the rope, (b) by gravity, and (c) the normal force of the ramp. (d) What is the net work done on the carton?

Short Answer

(a)Wrope=374.4J

(b)Wg=-332.8J

(c)Wn=0J

(d) Wnet=41.6J

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data is listed below as-

  • The distance covered by cartons along the surface of the ramp is, s=5.20m
  • The mass of the baggage is, w=mg=128N
  • The coefficient of kinetic friction between the carton and the baggage ramp isμk=0
  • Force due to rope isF=72N
  • The inclined angle between the baggage ramp and floor Ï•=30°
02

Significance of the work done

Workdone can be calculated using the forces exerted on the body and the total displacement of the body. Thereforeif a constant forceF→is appliedduring displacements→along a straight lineis given by,

W=F→·s→=Fs³¦´Ç²õÏ•

If F and s are in the same direction then ϕ=0°and if it is in opposite direction then ϕ=180°.

03

Determination of work done on the carton by the ramp

(a)

The free-body diagram for the carton is shown below:

Take the x-axis along the inclined baggage ramp y-axis perpendicular to the x-axis.

Along the x-axis, two forces are acting on the carton:

One is Fropeand another is the component of gravitational force along the x-axis, which is as below

F1=w³¦´Ç²õθ=mg³¦´Ç²õθ

The above two forces are opposite to each other.

Similarly along the y-axis also, two forces are acting on the carton.

One is normal force and another is a component of gravitational force along the y-axis which is as below:

F2=w²õ¾±²Ôθ=mg²õ¾±²Ôθ

Now, the work done on the carton by the rope will be

w=Fs³¦´Ç²õÏ• …â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦..(1)

Therefore, Wrope=Fropes³¦´Ç²õÏ•

Here, role="math" localid="1664860920094" Fropeis the force due to rope, s is the distance covered by carton along the surface of the ramp, and ϕis the angle between Fropeand s

For Frope=72N,s=5.20m,and ϕ=0°

Wrope=72N×5.2mcos0°=374.4N·m=374.4J

Thus, the magnitude of work done on the carton by the ramp is 374.4J

04

Determination of work done on the carton due to gravity

(b)

The work done by gravity on the carton is given by

wg=Fgs³¦´Ç²õÏ•=mgs³¦´Ç²õÏ•

The angle between Fg and s is ϕ=120°

wg=mgs³¦´Ç²õÏ•=128N×5.2m×cos120°=128N×5.2m×-0.5=-332.8N·m

Thus, the work done by gravity on the carton is given by -332.8J.

05

Determination of work done on the carton due to normal force of the ramp

(c)

The work done by normal force on the carton is given by

wn=Fns³¦´Ç²õÏ•

The angle between Fnand s is ϕ=90°

wn=Fns³¦´Ç²õÏ•wn=Fn×5.2×cos90°=0J

Thus, work done on the carton by normal force is 0 J

06

Determination of net work done on the carton

(d)

Net work done on the carton will be the sum of all the individual work done and is given by

Wnet=Wrope+Wg+Wn=374.4J-332.8J+0.J=41.6J

Thus, the total work done on the carton is 41.6 J.

You throw a glob of putty straight up toward the ceiling,which is 3.60 m above the point where the putty leaves your hand.The initial speed of the putty as it leaves your hand is 9.50 m/s.

(a) What is the speed of the putty just before it strikes the ceiling?

(b) How much time from when it leaves your hand does it take theputty to reach the ceiling?

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.

A shaft is drilled from the surface to the center of the earth (see Fig. 13.25). As in Example 13.10 (Section 13.6), make the unrealistic assumption that the density of the earth is uniform. With this approximation, the gravitational force on an object with mass m, that is inside the earth at a distance r from the center, has magnitude Fg=GmEmr/RE3(as shown in Example 13.10) and points toward the center of the earth. (a) Derive an expression for the gravitational potential energyU(r)of the object–earth system as a function of the object’s distance from the center of the earth. Take the potential energy to be zero when the object is at the center of the earth. (b) If an object is released in the shaft at the earth’s surface, what speed will it have when it reaches the center of the earth?

The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to

another planet is to use a Hohmann transfer orbit(Fig. P13.79). If the orbits of

the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit

is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of

the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the departure planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches

the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft

into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from

earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at

Mars: in the direction of motion or opposite the direction of motion? What

about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one-way trip

from the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets? (c) To reach

Mars from the earth, the launch must be timed so that Mars will be at the right

spot when the spacecraft reaches Mars’s orbit around the sun. At launch, what

must the angle between a sun–Mars line and a sun–earth line be? Use
