A boxed 10.0-kg computer monitor is dragged by friction 5.50 m upward along a conveyor belt inclined at an angle of 36.9° above the horizontal. If the monitor’s speed is a constant 2.10 cm/s, how much work is done on the monitor (a) by friction, (b) by gravity, and (c) the normal force of the conveyor belt.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)Wf=324J

(b)Wg=-324J

(c) Wn=0J

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data is listed below as-

  • The distance covered by the monitor when it is dragged upward is, s=5.50m
  • The mass of the monitor is, m=10kg
  • The angle of the conveyor belt with the horizontal Ï•=36.9°
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 monitor by friction(a)

It is given that the monitor’s speed is constant, therefore it can be concluded that the total force acting on the monitor is 0 according to Newton’s law.

Therefore,the sum of all the forces in the direction of motion and perpendicular to it is zero.

The free-body diagram for the monitor is as shown below:


The work done on the monitor due to friction is given by

Wf=Ffs

Where, Ff=mg²õ¾±²Ôθ

Here, m isthe mass of the monitor, and g is the gravitational constant.

For m=10kg,g=9.8m.s-2,and θ=36.9°

Ff=mgsinθ=10×9.8×sin36.9°=58.84N

Now,

Wf=Ffs=58.84N×5.5m=324J

Thus, the magnitude of work done on the monitor by friction is 342 J

04

Determination of work done on the monitor due to gravity(b)

The component of gravity parallel to the direction of motion is given by mgsinθ and is in the opposite direction to it.

The work done by gravity on the monitor is given by

Wg=-mgssinθ=-Ffs=-324J

Thus, the work done by gravity on the monitor is given by -324J.

05

Determination of work done on the monitor by normal force of the conveyor belt(c)

The conveyor belt does not do any work because the normal force of the conveyor belt is perpendicular to the direction of motion. Therefore, wn=0

Thus, work done by the normal force of the conveyor belt on the monitor is 0 J.

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 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?

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?
