Chapter 1: Q2E (page 160)

In Fig. E5.2 each of the suspended blocks has weight w. The pulleys are frictionless, and the ropes have negligible weight. In each case, draw a free-body diagram and calculate the tension T in the rope in terms of w.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The tension in the rope is w .

(b) The tension in the chain is w .

(c) The tension in the rope is w .

Step by step solution

01

Tension in rope

Given Data:

  • The weight of each block for all cases isw.

The tension in each rope for all the cases are same because the weight attached to each rope is the same.

02

Determine the tension in the rope (a)

The FBD of the block in case (a) is given below:

The equation for the vertical equilibrium of the weight is given as:

T-w=0T=0

Here is the tension in the rope andwis the weight attached to the rope.

Therefore, the tension in the rope isw.

(b)

The FBD of the block in case (b) is given below


The equation for the vertical equilibrium of the weight is given as:

T-w=0T=0

Therefore, the tension in the rope is w.

(c)

The FBD of the block is given below


The equation for the vertical equilibrium of the weight is given as:

T-w=0T=0

Therefore, the tension in the rope isw.

A car and a truck start from rest at the same instant, with the car initially at some distance behind the truck. The truck has a constant acceleration of20m/s2, and the car has an acceleration of3.40m/s2. The car overtakes the truck after the truck has moved60.0m. (a) How much time does it take the car to overtake the truck? (b) How far was the car behind the truck initially? (c) What is the speed of each when they are abreast? (d) On a single graph, sketch the position of each vehicle as a function of time. Takex=0at the initial location of the truck.

A rather ordinary middle-aged man is in the hospitalfor a routine checkup. The nurse writes 鈥�200鈥� on the patient鈥檚medical chart but forgets to include the units. Which of these quantities could the 200 plausibly represent? The patient鈥檚 (a) mass in kilograms; (b) height in meters; (c) height in centimeters;(d) height in millimeters; (e) age in months

You are standing at rest at a bus stop. A bus moving at a constant speed of 5.00 m/spasses you. When the rear of the bus 12 m ispast you, you realize that it is your bus, so you start to run toward it with a constant acceleration of0.960m/s2. How far would you have to run before you catch up with the rear of the bus, and how fast must you be running then? Would an average college student be physically able to accomplish this?
