Consider the system shown in Fig. P6.81. The rope and pulley have negligible mass, and the pulley is frictionless. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the 8.00-kg block and the table top is μk=0.250. The blocks are released from rest. Use energy methods to calculate the speed of the 6.00-kg block after it has descended 1.50 m.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The velocity of block of mass 6 kg, after it has descended 1.50 m is 2.9 m/s .

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The given data can be listed below,

  • The mass of the hanging block is, m1=6kg
  • The mass of the resting block is, m2=8kg
  • The coefficient of kinetic friction is,μk=0.250
  • The distance descended by block is, d=1.50m
02

Concept/Significance of friction.

The resistance to motion of one item moving in relation to another is known as friction. It results from the electromagnetic attraction of charged particles on two surfaces that are in contact.

03

Determination of the speed of the 6.00-kg block after it has descended 1.50 m

The net work done by the horizontal mass, considering that body is initially at rest, is given as-

Wnet=12m1v2 …(¾±)

Here, m1 is the mass of horizontal block, v is the velocity of horizontal block.

The net work done of the block is also given as,

Wnet=WT-Wf

WT=μkm1gd …(¾±¾±)

Here, WT is the work done by tension Tin the string.

Substitute the given values in the above equation,

WT=μkm1gd=12m1v2 …(¾±¾±¾±)

The net work done by hanging mass is given by,

Wnet=12m2v2 …(¾±±¹)

Here, m2 is the mass of the hanging block, v is the velocity of the hanging block.

The net work done by the block is also given as,

Wnet=Ww-WT=-WT+m2gd …(±¹)

Comparing equation (iv) & (v),

-WT+m2gd=12m2v2 …(±¹¾±)

Adding equation (iii) & (vi), we get-

m2gd-μkm1gd=12m1+m2v2v2=2m2gd-μkm1gdm1+m2v=2gdm2-μkm1m1+m2

Substitute the given values in the above,

v=29.8m/s21.50m6kg-0.25×8kg6+8=2.9m/s

Thus, the velocity of block of mass 6 kg is 2.9 m/s .

A swimming pool is 5.0 m long, 4.0 m wide, and 3.0 m deep. Compute the force exerted by the water against (a) the bottom and (b) either end. (Hint: Calculate the force on a thin, horizontal strip at a depth h, and integrate this over the end of the pool.) Do not include the force due to air pressure.

Water flows steadily from an open tank as in Fig. P12.81. The elevation of point 1 is 10.0 m, and the elevation of points 2 and 3 is 2.00 m. The cross-sectional area at point 2 is 0.0480 m2; at point 3 it is 0.0160 m2. The area of the tank is very large compared with the cross-sectional area of the pipe. Assuming that Bernoulli’s equation applies, compute (a) the discharge rate in cubic meters per second and (b) the gauge pressure at point 2.

Can you find a vector quantity that has a magnitude of zero but components that are not zero? Explain. Can the magnitude of a vector be less than the magnitude of any of its components? Explain.

A cube 5.0 cm on each side is made of a metal alloy. After you drill a cylindrical hole 2.0 cm in diameter all the way through and perpendicular to one face, you find that the cube weighs 6.30 N. (a) What is the density of this metal? (b) What did the cube weigh before you drilled the hole in it?

As a test of orienteering skills, your physics class holds a contest in a large, open field. Each contestant is told to travel 20.8 m due north from the starting point, then 38.0 m due east, and finally 18.0 m in the direction 33.0° west of south. After the specified displacements, a contestant will find a silver dollar hidden under a rock. The winner is the person who takes the shortest time to reach the location of the silver dollar. Remembering what you learned in class, you run on a straight line from the starting point to the hidden coin. How far and in what direction do you run?
