Knocking Over a Post. One end of a post weighing 400 Nand with height hrests on a rough horizontal surface withS=0.30. The upper end is held by a rope fastened to the surface and making an angle ofwith the post (Given figure). A horizontal forceis exerted on the post as shown.

  1. If the forceis applied at the midpoint of the post, what is the largest value it can have without causing the post to slip?
  2. How large can the force be without causing the post to slip if its point of application is 610of the way from the ground to the top of the post?
  3. Show that if the point of application of the force is too high, the post cannot be made to slip, no matter how great the force. Find the critical height for the point of application.

Short Answer

  1. The largest value it can have without causing the post to slip if the force is applied at the midpoint of the post is 399.7 N.
  2. The maximum force it can be without causing the post to slip if its point of application is610 of the way from the ground to the top of the post is 748.77 N
  3. It is shown that if the point of application of the force is too high, the post cannot be made to slip, no matter how great the force The critical height for the point of application is 0.71.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

Here we have given that, weight W = 480 N

Angle between rope and posy is=36.9

s=0.30

Height of the post is h

02

 concept of Torque

The force that can cause an object to rotate along an axis is measured as torque. Which is given by,

=rF=rsin (1)

Whereris torque,r is radius vector,F is force applied on object and is angle between and.

03

Finding the largest value it can have without causing the post to slip if the force  is applied at the midpoint of the post

(a)

Here, the object is in static equilibrium. So, by second condition of equilibrium,

ini=0,n=1,2,3, (2)

Free body diagram for given problem is,

From equation (2) and free-body diagram we can write,

For upper point,

f+F=0fhsin2+Fasin2=0fhFa=0f=Fah (3)

Where f is friction force.

Now, for lower point,

T+F=0Thsin()+Fbsin2=0Thsin+Fb=0T=Fbhsin

Now, equalizing the forces acting along the vertical axis will give the expression for the normal reaction of the surface,

W+Tcos=N(5)

Now, for friction force we have,

fsN (6)

Now, from equation (5) and (6) we have,

fsW+Tcos

Now, put the values of equation (3) and (4) in above equation we get,

aFhsW+FbhsincosaFhsFbhsincossWFahsbcoshsinsWFahsbhtansWFsWahsbhtan (7)

Now, here we have to suppose that force acting on the middle of the body.

So,a=h2andb=h2

So, from equation (7), we have,

FsWh/2hsh/2htanFsW12s12tanF(0.30)(400N)12(0.30)12tan36.9F399.7N

Hence, the largest value it can have without causing the post to slip if the force is applied at the midpoint of the post is 399.7 N .

04

Finding the force that how much large it can be without causing the post to slip if its point of application is 610 of the way from the ground to the top of the post.

(b)

Here we have to suppose that, its point of application is610of the way from the ground to the top of the post.

So, we have,a=4h10andb=6h10

So, from equation (7), we have,

FsW4h/10hs6h/10htanFsW410s610tanF(0.30)(400N)410(0.30)610tan36.9F748.77N

Hence, the maximum force it can be without causing the post to slip if its point of application is 610of the way from the ground to the top of the post is 748.77 N.

05

Showing that if the point of application of the force is too high, the post cannot be made to slip, no matter how great the force and finding the critical height for the point of application.

(c)

Here we have to suppose that the point of application of the force is too high.

So, suppose that the force is acting on top of the body.

So, we can write, a = h - b

So, from equation (7), we have,

FsWhbhsbhtanFsW1bhsbhtanFsW1bh1+s1tan

Here if 1bh1+s1tanThen Force is very high.

Now, to determine critical point let,

1bh1+s1tan=01=bh1+s1tanbh=11+s1tanbh=11+(0.30)1tan36.9=0.71

Hence, It is shown that if the point of application of the force is too high, the post cannot be made to slip, no matter how great the force The critical height for the point of application is 0.71 .

Question- Neptunium. In the fall of 2002, scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory determined that the critical mass of neptunium-237 is about 60 kg. The critical mass of a fissionable material is the minimum amount that must be brought together to start a nuclear chain reaction. Neptunium-237 has a density of 19.5 g/cm3. What would be the radius of a sphere of this material that has a critical mass?
