Two boxes connected by a light horizontal rope are on a horizontal surface (Fig. E5.37). The coefficient of kinetic friction between each box and the surface is k=0.30.Box B has mass 5.00 kg , and box has mass . A force F with magnitude 40.0 N and direction 53.1above the horizontal is applied to the box, and both boxes move to the right with a=1.50m/s2. (a) What is the tension in the rope that connects the boxes? (b) What is ?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The tension in the rope is 11.4 N.
  2. The value of is 2.57 kg.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data can be listed below as:

The frictional coefficient amongst the surface and the box isk=0.30

The mass of the box B ism1=5.00kg

The mass of the box A is m

The magnitude of the force is F = 40.0 N

The force is directed at an angle of=53.1

The acceleration of the box is a = 1.50m/s2

02

Significance of the friction force

The friction force mainly opposes the motion that is relative between two objects which are moving. The friction force mainly transfers one energy to another energy.

(a) Determination of the tension in the rope

The free body diagram of the box B is drawn below,

Here, the box B exerts a force m1gin the downward direction. The normal force exerted by the box is nBand the force on the box is F. The force has two components such as FcosandFsinrespectively and the value of the angle is 53.1. The tension exerted by the rope is T and the frictional force is fk.

According to the diagram, the summation of all the forces acting in the x and y the direction is zero.

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

The equation of the summation of all the forces acting in the x direction is expressed as:Fx=0贵肠辞蝉胃-T-fk-m1a=0T=F肠辞蝉胃-fk-m1a

Here, Fxis the summation of all the forces acting in the x direction, F is the magnitude of the force, is the angle of the direction of the force, T is the tension,fkis the friction of the box,m1 is the mass of the box B and a is the acceleration of the box.

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

Fy=0Fsin+nB-m1g=0nB=m1g-Fsin

Here,Fy is the summation of all the forces acting in the y direction,nB is the normal reaction force on box B and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

The equation of the friction of the box is expressed as:

fk=knB

Substitute for in the equation of friction.

fk=km1g-Fsin

Substitutekm1g-Fsin forfk in the equation of tension.

T=Fcos-km1g-Fsin-m1a=Fcos-km1g-kFsin-m1a

Substitute 40.0N for F ,53.1 for ,0.30 fork , 5.00kg form1 ,9.8m/s2 for g and1.50m/s2 for a in the above equation.

T=40.0Ncos53.1-0.305.00kg9.8m/s2-0.3040.0Nsin53.1-5.00kg1.50m/s2=24.01N-14.7kg.m/s2-9.59N-7.5kg.m/s2=24.01N-14.7kg.m/s21N1kg.m/s2-9.59N-7.5kg.m/s21N1kg.m/s2=11.4N

Thus, the tension in the rope is 11.4 N .

(b) Determination of the value of

The free body diagram of the box A is drawn below,

In the above diagram, the box A exerts a force mg in the ground. The normal force on the box A is nA. The tension of the box is T and the frictional force is fk.

According to the diagram, the summation of all the forces acting in the x and y the direction is zero.

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

Fx=0T-fk=mam=T-fkBa.........1

Here,Fx is the summation of all the forces acting in the x direction, F is the magnitude of the force, is the angle of the direction of the force, T is the tension,fkB is the friction of the box, m is the mass of the box A and a is the acceleration of the box.

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

Fy=0nA-mg=0nA=mg

Here, Fyis the summation of all the forces acting in the y direction,nA is the normal reaction force on box B and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

The equation of the friction of the box B is expressed as:

fkB=knA

Substitute mg fornA in the equation of friction.

fk=kmg

Substitutekmg forfkB in equation (1)

m=T-kmgama=T-kmgma+kg=Tm=Ta+kg

Substitute 11.4N for T , 1.50m/s2for a , 0.30 fork and9.8m/s2 for g in the above equation.

m=11.4N1.50m/s2+0.309.8m/s2=11.4N1.50m/s2+2.94m/s2=11.4N4.44m/s2=2.57Ns2/m1kg.m/s21N=2.57kg

Thus, the value of m is 2.57 kg .
