Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Themass of the block C is 12.89 kg.

(b) The tensions in each cord are 100.6 N and 47.2 N respectively.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data can be listed below as:

  • The mass of the block A is ma=4.00kg.
  • The mass of the block B is mb=12.00kg.
  • The kinetic friction coefficient between the horizontal surface and the block B is =0.25.
  • The acceleration of the block B is a=2.00m/s2.
02

Significance of the tension

The tension is described as the force that is mainly transmitted in an axial direction with the help of a string. Moreover, tension is also the pair of action and reaction forces that acts on an object.

(b) Determination of the tension in the cords

The free body diagram of the system has been drawn below:

Here, in the diagram, it has been identified that the tensionsT1 andT2 are mainly acting on the system.

From the above diagram, the equation of the tension between the block A and block B is expressed as:

T1-mAg=mAaT1=mAg+mAa

Here, T1is tension between the block A and block B, mAis the mass of the block A, a is the acceleration of the block B and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Substitute the values in the above equation.

T1=(4.00kg)2.00m/s2+9.8m/s2=(4.00kg)11.8m/s2=47.2kgm/s21N1kgm/s2=47.2N

The free body diagram of the block B has been drawn below:

Here, in the diagram, it has been identified that apart from the tensions, a normal force is applied along with the frictional force fk.

The equation of the tension between the block B and C is expressed as:

T2-fk-T1=mBaT2=mBa+fk+T1 鈥(颈)

Here, T2is the tension between the block B and C, mBis the mass of the block B and fkis the frictional force.

The equation of the frictional force is expressed as:

f=mBg

SubstitutemBg forfk in the above equation.

T2=mBa+mBg+T1

Substitute the values in the above equation.

T2=(12.00kg)2.00m/s2+0.2512.00kg9.8m/s2+47.2N=(24.00kgm/s2)+29.4kgm/s2+47.2N=53.4kgm/s21N1kgm/s2+47.2N=100.6N

Thus, the tensions in each cord are 100.6 N and 47.2 N respectively.

(a) Determination of the mass of the block C

The free body diagram of the block C has been drawn below:

In the above diagram, both the tensionT2 and the weight of the block that is the product of the mass of the block and acceleration due to gravitymcg is acting.

The equation of the mass of the block C is expressed as:

mcg-T2=mcamcg-a=T2mc=T2g-a

Here,mc is the mass of the block C.

Substitute the values in the above equation.

mc=100.6N9.8m/s22.0m/s2=100.6N1kgm/s21N7.8m/s2=100.6kgm/s27.8m/s2=12.89kg

Thus, the mass of the block C is 12.89 kg.

A shaft is drilled from the surface to the center of the earth (see Fig. 13.25). As in Example 13.10 (Section 13.6), make the unrealistic assumption that the density of the earth is uniform. With this approximation, the gravitational force on an object with mass m, that is inside the earth at a distance r from the center, has magnitude Fg=GmEmr/RE3(as shown in Example 13.10) and points toward the center of the earth. (a) Derive an expression for the gravitational potential energyU(r)of the object鈥揺arth system as a function of the object鈥檚 distance from the center of the earth. Take the potential energy to be zero when the object is at the center of the earth. (b) If an object is released in the shaft at the earth鈥檚 surface, what speed will it have when it reaches the center of the earth?

The mass of Venus is 81.5% that of the earth, and its radius is 94.9% that of the earth. (a) Compute the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Venus from these data. (b) If a rock weighs 75.0 N on earth, what would it weigh at the surface of Venus?

A useful and easy-to-remember approximate value for the number of seconds in a year is饾洃脳107. Determine the percent error in this approximate value. (There are 365.24 days in one year.)

At what distance above the surface of the earth is the acceleration due to the earth鈥檚 gravity 0.980 m/s2 if the acceleration due to gravity at the surface has magnitude 9.8 m/s2?

A closed and elevated vertical cylindrical tank with diameter 2.00 m contains water to a depth of 0.800 m. A worker accidently pokes a circular hole with diameter 0.0200 m in the bottom of the tank. As the water drains from the tank, compressed air above the water in the tank maintains a gauge pressure of 5 X 103Pa at the surface of the water. Ignore any effects of viscosity. (a) Just after the hole is made, what is the speed of the water as it emerges from the hole? What is the ratio of this speed to the efflux speed if the top of the tank is open to the air? (b) How much time does it take for all the water to drain from the tank? What is the ratio of this time to the time it takes for the tank to drain if the top of the tank is open to the air?
