At a construction site, a 65.0-kg bucket of concrete hangs from a light (but strong) cable that passes over a light, friction-free pulley and is connected to an 80.0-kg box on a horizontal roof (Fig. P7.37). The cable pulls horizontally on the box, and a 50.0-kg bag of gravel rests on top of the box. The coefficients of friction between the box and roof are shown. (a) Find the friction force on the bag of gravel and on the box. (b) Suddenly a worker picks up the bag of gravel. Use energy conservation to find the speed of the bucket after it has descended 2.00 m from rest. (Use Newton鈥檚 laws to check your answer.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The friction force for gravel of bag and box are 0N and 637 N .

(b) The speed of the bucket is 2.8 m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Given Data:

The mass of the bucket is:mb=65kg

The mass of the box is: m=80kg

The mass of the gravel bag is:mg=50kg

The coefficient of static friction on the box is: s=0.700

The coefficient of kinetic friction on the box is:k=0.400

The distance descended by the bucket is: h=2 m

02

Friction Force:

The friction force varies with the coefficient of friction between object and surface. For a smooth surface, it is less and for rough surfaces, it is very high.

03

Determination of friction force on the bag of gravel and the box

(a)

There is no movement between the gravel bag and box so the friction force on the bag of gravel will be zero.

The friction force on the box is given as:

fb=mbg

fbis the friction force on the box, mbis the mass of the bucket.

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

fb=65kg9.8m/s2fb=637N

Therefore, the friction force for gravel of bag and box are 0N and 637 N.

04

Determination of the speed of bucket

(b)

Apply the energy conservation to find the speed of the bucket.

mbgh-km+mggh=12mbv2

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

65kg9.8m/s22m-0.480kg+50kg9.8m/s22m=1265kgv2v=2.8m/s

Therefore, the speed of the bucket is 2.8 m/s.

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鈥檚 orbit. It was even given the name Vulcan, although we now have no evidence that it actually exists. Mercury鈥檚 precession has been explained by general relativity.)

Hot Jupiters. In 2004 astronomers reported the discovery of a large Jupiter-sized planet orbiting very close to the star HD179949 (hence the term 鈥渉ot Jupiter鈥). The orbit was just19 the distance of Mercury from our sun, and it takes the planet only3.09days to make one orbit (assumed to be circular). (a) What is the mass of the star? Express your answer in kilograms and as a multiple of our sun鈥檚 mass. (b) How fast (in km>s) is this planet moving?

A typical adult human has a mass of about 70Kg. (a) What force does a full moon exert on such a human when directly overhead with its centre378000km away? (b) Compare this force with the pressure exerted on the human by the earth.

According to the label on a bottle of salad dressing, the volume of the contents is 0.473 liter (L). Using only the conversions 1 L = 1000 cm3 and 1 in. = 2.54 cm, express this volume in cubic inches.

The acceleration of a particle is given by ax(t)=2.00m/s2+(3.00m/s3)t. (a) Find the initial velocityv0xsuch that the particle will have the same x-coordinate att=4.00sas it had att=0. (b) What will be the velocity att=4.00s?
