A solid uniform 45.0-kg ball of diameter 32.0 cm is supported against a vertical, frictionless wall by a thin 30.0-cm wire of negligible mass (Fig. P5.65).

(a) Draw a free-body diagram for the ball, and use the diagram to find the tension in the wire.

(b) How hard does the ball push against the wall?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)

.

The tension in the wire is 470 N.

(b) The ball push 163 N against the wall.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The given data can be listed below as:

  • The mass of the ball is m =45.0 kg .
  • The diameter of the ball isd=32.0cm×1m100cm=0.32m.
  • The radius of the ball is R=d2=d2=0.32m2=0.16m.
  • The length of the wire is L=30.0cm×1m100cm=0.3m.

Significance of the Newton’s second law

Newton’s second law states that acceleration occurs when a particular force acts on an object. The force is equal to the product of acceleration and mass.

03

(a) Determination of the free-body diagram

The free-body diagram has been drawn below:

From the above diagrams, it has been observed that the wire exerts a tension Ton the ball, the weight of the ball is mg, and the force exerted by the wall isn. The tension has two components such as Tcosθand Tsinθin the horizontal and in the vertical directions, respectively.

(a) Determination of the tension in the wire

The diagram to find the tension in the wire has been drawn below:

From the above diagram, the value of the angle θcan be identified, which will be beneficial for evaluating the tension.

The equation of the angle can be expressed as:

²õ¾±²Ôθ=0.16m0.16m+0.3m=0.16m0.46m=20.35°

From the free-body diagram, the summation of all the forces in xand in the y direction is zero.

The equation of the summation of the forces in the x direction is expressed as:

∑Fx=0Tsinθ-n=0n=Tsinθ (i)

Here ∑Fx is the summation of the forces acting in the x direction, n is the normal force, T is the tension and θis the angle subtended with the wall.

The equation of the summation of the forces in the y direction n is expressed as:

∑Fy=0 Tcosθ-mg=0 T=mgcosθ (ii)

Here ∑Fyis the summation of the forces acting in they direction, n is the normal force, is the tension and is the angle subtended with the wall.

Substitute 45.0 kg for m , 9.8m/s2for T, and 20.35°for θin the equation (ii).

T=45.0kg9.8m/s2cos20.35°=441kg.m/s20.93=470kg.m/s2×1N1kg.m/s2=470N

Thus, the tension in the wire is 470 N .

05

(b) Determination of the force the ball push against the wall

The equation (i) has been recalled below.

∑Fx=0T²õ¾±²Ôθ-n=0n=T²õ¾±²Ôθ

Substitute 470 N for T and 20.35°forθ in the equation (i).

n=470Nsin20.35°=470N×0.347=163N

According to the third law of Newton, the force exerted by the wall is equal to the magnitude of the force exerted by the ball.

Thus, the ball push 163 N against the wall.
