A 15.0-Kg bucket of water is suspended by a very light rope wrapped around a solid uniform cylinder 0.300 m in diameter with mass 12.0 Kg. The cylinder pivots on a frictionless axle through its center. The bucket is released from the rest at the top of a well and falls 10.0 m to the water. (a)What is the tension in the rope while the bucket is falling? (b) With what speed does the bucket strike the water? (c) What is the time of fall? (d) While the bucket is falling, what is the force exerted on the cylinder by the axle?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The tension in the rope is, T=42.0N.

(b) the speed of the bucket is,vyf=11.8m/s .

(c) The time of fall is, ∆t=1.69s.

(d)The force exerted on the cylinder is, n = 160 N .

Step by step solution

01

To mention the given data

We have the given data:

Diameter of the uniform cylinder (D) = 0.300 m

Radius of the uniform cylinder (R) =0.150 m.

Mass of the water bucket (m) =15.0 Kg.

Mass of the uniform cylinder (M) = 12 Kg.

Bucket falling at the height (h) =10 m.

At rest, the velocity v1= 0 , time t = 0

Concept

If a particle of mass experiences a nonzero net force, its acceleration is related to the net force by Newton’s Second Law:

∑F=ma.......(1)

If a rigid object free to rotate about a fixed axis has a net external torque acting on it, the object undergoes an angular acceleration , where,

∑τext=lα.......(2)

When a rigid object rotates about a fixed axis, the angular acceleration is related to the translational acceleration by,

at=rα.......(3)

If a particle moves in a straight line with a constant acceleration , its motion is described by the kinematics equations:

v2xf=v2xi+2ax∆x........(4)∆x=vxit+12at2......(5)

03

(a)To find the tension in the rope

The figure is shown below for reference.

Let the downward direction be positive. We consider a model the bucket as a particle under a net force in the vertical direction and using equation to it, we get,

∑F=mg−T=ma⇒T=m(g−a)⋯⋯(6)

Let the counter clockwise torques be positive.

We consider the model of a cylinder as a rigid object under a net torque and using equation to it, we get,

∑τ=Tr=lα

where, moment of inertia of the cylinder isI=12Mr2.

Thus, using also, we get,

Tr=12Mr2ar⇒T=Ma2⋯⋯

Now, from (6) and (7) ,

m(g−a)=Ma2⇒mg−ma=Ma2⇒mg=Ma2+ma⇒mg=aM2+m⇒a=mgM2+m

Substituting the values, we get,

a=(15.0)(9.80)12(12)+(15)a=7.00m/s2

Using this value in (7),

T=(12.0)(7.00)2T=42.0N

Hence, the tension in the rope is, T= 42.0 N .

04

(b)To find speed of the bucket

Let us model the bucket as a particle under constant acceleration and using it to the equation (4), we get,

vyf2=vyi2+2aΔy⇒vyf2=2aΔy∵vyi=0⇒vyf=2aΔy⇒vyf=2(7.00)(10.0)⇒vyf=11.8m/s

Hence, the speed of the bucket is,vyf=11.8m/s .

05

(c)To find the time of fall

The time of the fall of the bucket is calculated using equation to the bucket between the initial and final states:

Δy=vxiΔt+12a(Δt)2⇒Δy=12a(Δt)2⇒Δt=2(Δy)a⇒Δt=2(10.0)7⇒Δt=1.69s

Hence, the time of fall is,∆t=1.69s .

06

(d)To find the force exerted on the cylinder

The force exerted by the axle on the bucket must balance the gravitational weight of the bucket and the tension in the rope.

Thus,

n=T+mg⇒n=42.0+(12.0)(9.80)⇒n=160N

Hence, the force exerted on the cylinder is, n = 160 N .

A jet fighter pilot wishes to accelerate from rest at a constant acceleration of to reach Mach 3 (three times the speed of sound) as quickly as possible. Experimental tests reveal that he will black out if this acceleration lasts for more than5.0s. Use331m/sfor the speed of sound. (a) Will the period of acceleration last long enough to cause him to black out? (b) What is the greatest speed he can reach with an acceleration ofbefore he blacks out?

Mass Mis distributed uniformly over a disk of radius a. Find the

gravitational force (magnitude and direction) between this disk-shaped mass

and a particle with mass mlocated a distance xabove the centre of the disk

(Fig. P13.81). Does your result reduce to the correct expression as xbecomes

very large? (Hint:Divide the disk into infinitesimally thin concentric rings, use

the expression derived in Exercise 13.35 for the gravitational force due to each

ring, and integrate to find the total force.)

Planet Vulcan.Suppose that a planet were discovered between the sun and Mercury, with a circular orbit of radius equal to 2/3 of the average orbit radius of Mercury. What would be the orbital period of such a planet? (Such a planet was once postulated, in part to explain the precession of Mercury’s orbit. It was even given the name Vulcan, although we now have no evidence that it actually exists. Mercury’s precession has been explained by general relativity.)

Rhea, one of Saturn’s moons, has a radius of 764 km and an acceleration due to gravity of 0.265 m/s2at its surface. Calculate its mass and average density.
