Don鈥檛 Miss the Boat. While on a visit to Minnesota (鈥淟and of 10,000 Lakes鈥), you sign up to take an excursion around one of the larger lakes. Whe\({\bf{1500}} - {\bf{kg}}\)n you go to the dock where the boat is tied, you find that the boat is bobbing up and down in the waves, executing simple harmonic motion with amplitude \({\bf{20}}\,{\bf{cm}}\). The boat takes \({\bf{3}}.{\bf{5}}\,{\bf{s}}\) to make one complete up-and-down cycle. When the boat is at its highest point, its deck is at the same height as the stationary dock. As you watch the boat bob up and down, you (mass \({\bf{60}}\,{\bf{kg}}\)) begin to feel a bit woozy, due in part to the previous night鈥檚 dinner of lutefisk. As a result, you refuse to board the boat unless the level of the boat鈥檚 deck is within \({\bf{10}}\,{\bf{cm}}\) of the dock level. How much time do you have to board the boat comfortably during each cycle of up-and-down motion.

Short Answer

Expert verified

\(1.17\,{\rm{s}}\)

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

Mass of the boat \(m = 1500\,{\rm{kg}}\)

The amplitude \(A = \,\,{\rm{20}}\,{\rm{cm}}\)

Time period of boat \(T = 3.5\,{\rm{s}}\)

02

Significance of simple harmonic motion  

A motion known as a "simple harmonic motion," or SHM, is one in which the restoring force is directly proportional to the body's displacement from its mean position.

Displacement of SHM is expressed as,

\(\begin{aligned}{l}x = A\cos (\omega t + \varphi )\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,i.e\,\,\varphi = 0\\x = A\cos (\omega t)\,\end{aligned}\) 鈥(i)

Where, \(x\) is the displacement, \(A\) is the displacement, \(\omega \) is the angular speed and \(t\) is the time

03

 Determining that how much time do you have to board the boat comfortably during each cycle of up-and-down motion 

Using equation (i)

\(x = A\cos (\omega t)\,\)

Substitute \(x = \frac{A}{2}\) and \(\omega = \frac{{2\pi }}{T}\) in above equation

\(\begin{aligned}{c}\frac{A}{2} = A\cos (\frac{{2\pi }}{T}t)\,\\\cos (\frac{{2\pi }}{T}t)\, = \frac{1}{2}\\\frac{{2\pi }}{T}t = {\cos ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)\\\frac{{2\pi }}{T}t = \frac{\pi }{3}\\t = \frac{T}{6}\end{aligned}\)

So the time taken for full up and down motion is given by,

\(\begin{aligned}{c}2t = \frac{T}{3}\\ = \frac{{3.5\,{\rm{s}}}}{3}\\ = 1.17\,{\rm{s}}\end{aligned}\)

For a spherical planet with mass M, volume V, and radius R,derive an expression for the acceleration due to gravity at the planet鈥檚 surface, g, in terms of the average density of the planet, =M/V, and the planet鈥檚 diameter, D=2R. The table gives the values of Dand gfor the eight major planets:

(a) Treat the planets as spheres. Your equation for as a function of and shows that if the average density of the planets is constant, a graph of versus will be well represented by a straight line. Graph as a function of for the eight major planets. What does the graph tell you about the variation in average density? (b) Calculate the average density for each major planet. List the planets in order of decreasing density, and give the calculated average density of each. (c) The earth is not a uniform sphere and has greater density near its center. It is reasonable to assume this might be true for the other planets. Discuss the effect this nonuniformity has on your analysis. (d) If Saturn had the same average density as the earth, what would be the value of at Saturn鈥檚 surface?
