A uniform drawbridge must be held at a 37angle above the horizontal to allow ships to pass underneath. The drawbridge weighs 45000 N and is 14.0 m long. A cable is connected 3.5 m from the hinge where the bridge pivots (measured along the bridge) and pulls horizontally on the bridge to hold it in place.

  1. What is the tension in the cable?
  2. Find the magnitude and direction of the force the hinge exerts on the bridge.
  3. If the cable suddenly breaks, what is the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the drawbridge just after the cable breaks?
  4. What is the angular speed of the drawbridge as it becomes horizontal?

Step by step solution

01

The given data

Given that a uniform drawbridge must be held at a 37angle above the horizontal to allow ships to pass underneath. The drawbridge weighs 45000 N and is 14.0 m long. A cable is connected 3.5 m from the hinge where the bridge pivots (measured along the bridge) and pulls horizontally on the bridge to hold it in place.

Weight of drawbridge, w = 45000 N

Moment of arm for w, I1=14m2=7m

Let T be the tension in the cable when drawbridge is at angle of 37with the horizontal.

Moment of arm for tension T is I = 3.5 m

02

Formula used

Torque =FI

Where Fis force exerted and l is moment arm.

03

(a)Step 3: Find tension in the cable

Apply first condition for equilibrium.

Net torque on the axis of the hinge is zero.

This implies TIsin37-wl1cos37=0

T(3.5m)sin37=(45000N)(7m)cos37T=2(45000N)tan37T=1.19105N

Hence tension in the cable is1.19105N

04

(b)Step 4: Find force exerted by hinge on the bridge

Let HhandHv are horizontal and vertical components of force exerted by hinge on the bridge H.

Now, applying second condition of equilibrium,

Net force is zero.

Thus Fx=0andFy=0

Fx=0implies Hh=T=1.19105N

Fy=0implies localid="1668070667740" Hv=w=4.5104N

Therefore force exerted is H=Hh2+Hv2=1.27105N

tan=HvHh=20.7

Thus, hinge force has magnitude 1.27105Nand is directed at 20.7above horizontal.

05

(c)Step 5: Find angular acceleration if the drawbridge breaks

Treat bridge as a uniform bar rotating around one end, so

Moment of Inertia, I=13mL2 where m is mass of bridge and L is length of bridge.

Torque is =lwhere is angular acceleration.

This gives mgL2cos37=13mL2

Thus

=3gcos372L=39.8m/s2cos372(14m)=0.839rad/s2

06

(d)Step 6: Find angular speed of drawbridge as it becomes horizontal

Let be angular speed.

Now, according to law of conservation of energy,

mgh=12l2

Thus mgh=1213mL22

Now h=L2sin37

Thus the equation becomes gL2sin37=16L22

Solving for ,

=3gsin37L=39.8m/s2sin3714m=1.12rad/s2

Hence angular speed is 1.12rad/s2

Express each approximation of to six significant figures: (a) 22/7 and (b) 355/113. (c) Are these approximations accurate to that precision?

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.)

A ship leaves the island of Guam and sails 285 km at 62.0 north of west. In which direction must it now head and how far must it sail so that its resultant displacement will be 115 km directly east of Guam?

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?

The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to

another planet is to use a Hohmann transfer orbit(Fig. P13.79). If the orbits of

the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit

is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of

the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the departure planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches

the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft

into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from

earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at

Mars: in the direction of motion or opposite the direction of motion? What

about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one-way trip

from the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets? (c) To reach

Mars from the earth, the launch must be timed so that Mars will be at the right

spot when the spacecraft reaches Mars鈥檚 orbit around the sun. At launch, what

must the angle between a sun鈥揗ars line and a sun鈥揺arth line be? Use
