A 15,000 N crane pivots around a friction-free axle at its base and is supported by a cable making a 25掳 angle with the crane (Fig. E 11.18). The crane is 16 m long and is not uniform, its center of gravity being 7.0 m from the axle as measured along the crane. The cable is attached 3.0 m from the upper end of the crane. When the crane is raised to 55掳 above the horizontal holding an 11,000 N pallet of bricks by a 2.2 m, very light cord, find (a) the tension in the cable and (b) the horizontal and vertical components of the force that the axle exerts on the crane. Start with a free-body diagram of the crane.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The tension in the cable is 29304.54 N .

(b) The horizontal and vertical components of the force that the axle exerts on the crane are 25378.48 N and 40652.27 N respectively.

Step by step solution

01

Given information:

The weight of the crane is: W = 15,000 N .

The angle made by cable with the crane is:25.

The length of the crane is: 16 m .

The distance of the center of gravity from the axle is: 7 m .

The distance of cable attached from the upper end of the crane is: 3 m .

The angle of the crane is raised above the horizontal is: 55.

The weight of the pallet of bricks held by the crane is:W1=11,000N.

The length of the very light cord holding the pallet of bricks is: 2.2 m .

02

Force components:

When a force acts on an inclined component at an angle then it can be resolved into two components, horizontal and vertical components.

The value of the horizontal and vertical force components relies on the magnitude of the inclined force and its angle of inclination.

03

(a) The tension in the cable:

The free-body diagram of the crane is given by:

Here, T is the tension in the cable, Fxis the horizontal and Fyis the vertical components of the force that the axle exerts on the crane.

Taking moments about the axle of the crane,

W7msin35+W116msin35-T13msin25=0

Putting the values:

15000N7m0.574+11000N16m0.574-T13m0.423=060225.53+100949.45-5.5T=0T=161174.985.5T=29304.54N

Hence, the tension in the cable is 29304.54 N .

04

(b) The horizontal and vertical components of the force:

Balancing all the forces in the vertical direction,

Fy-W-W1-Tsin30=0Fy-15000N-11000N-29304.54N0.5=0Fy=26000N+14652.27NFy=40652.27N

And, balancing all the forces in the horizontal direction,

Fx-Tcos30=0Fx-29304.54N0.866=0Fx=25378.48N

Hence, the horizontal and vertical components of the force are 25378.48 N and 40652.27 N respectively.

You are lost at night in a large, open field. Your GPS tells you that you are 122.0 cm from your truck, in a direction 58.0 east of south. You walk 72.0 m due west along a ditch. How much farther, and in what direction, must you walk to reach your truck?

A helium filled balloon is tied to a light string inside a car at rest. The other end of the string is attached to the floor of the car, so the balloon pulls the string vertical. The car now accelerates forward. Does the balloon move? If so, does it move forward or backward? Justify your reasoning with references to buoyancy (if you have a chance, try this experiment yourself but with someone else driving !).

Question: A car鈥檚 velocity as a function of time is given byvxt=+t2, where=3.00m/sand =0.100m/s3.(a) Calculate the average acceleration for the time interval t=0tot=5.00s. (b) Calculate the instantaneous acceleration forrole="math" t=0tot=5.00s.

(c) Draw vx-tandax-tgraphs for the car鈥檚 motion betweent=0tot=5.00s.

A driver in Massachusetts was sent to traffic court for speeding. The evidence against the driver was that a policewoman observed the driver鈥檚 car alongside a second car at a certain moment, and the policewoman had already clocked the second car going faster than the speed limit. The driver argued, 鈥淭he second car was passing me. I was not speeding.鈥 The judge ruled against the driver because, in the judge鈥檚 words, 鈥淚f two cars were side by side, both of you were speeding.鈥 If you were a lawyer representing the accused driver, how would you argue this case?

A hammer with mass m is dropped from rest from a height h above the earth鈥檚 surface. This height is not necessarily small compared with the radiusof the earth. Ignoring air resistance, derive an expression for the speed v of the hammer when it reaches the earth鈥檚 surface. Your expression should involve h,, and(the earth鈥檚 mass).
