Dynamics of Rigid Bodies – Problem: Two Bodies Supported by a Pulley System – Diagram

Answer

Vector from A to B is:
$\vec{AB}=\langle0-4,6-0,0-3\rangle=\langle-4,6,-3\rangle$
Its length is $\sqrt{16+36+9}=\sqrt{61}$. Unit vector times 500:
$\mathbf F=500\frac{\langle-4,6,-3\rangle}{\sqrt{61}}$
$\boxed{-256i+384j-192k\text{ N}}$

Answer

At impending slip on an incline, the angle of friction equals the angle of repose, so $\mu = \tan\theta$:
$\mu = \tan 38^\circ$
$\boxed{\mu = 0.78}$

Answer

Part 1.

On the verge of sliding down, friction acts up the incline at $\mu_s N$. With horizontal force $P$:
$N = W\cos 40° + P\sin 40°$ and $W\sin 40° = P\cos 40° + \mu_s N$.
With $W = 20(9.81) = 196.2$ N:
$$196.2\sin 40° = P\cos 40° + 0.3(196.2\cos 40° + P\sin 40°)$$
$$81.0 = 0.959P \;\Rightarrow\; \boxed{P = 84.5 \text{ N}}$$

Part 2.

Released with no applied force, the block slides down under gravity against kinetic friction ($\mu_k = 0.2$):
$$a = g(\sin 40° - \mu_k\cos 40°) = 9.81(0.643 - 0.2\times0.766)$$
$$\boxed{a = 4.8 \text{ m/s}^2}$$

Part 3.

From rest with $a = 4.8$ m/s²:
$$s = \tfrac{1}{2}at^2 = \tfrac{1}{2}(4.8)(1.8)^2 = \boxed{7.8 \text{ m}}$$

Answer

Treat the L-shaped rod as two uniform rods joined at the bend. Relative to the bend, the 10 m side has its centroid at 5 m and the 6 m side has its centroid at 3 m.
The composite centroid coordinates measured along the 10 m side and 6 m side are
$$\bar{x}=\frac{10(5)}{16}=3.125\text{ m}$$
$$\bar{y}=\frac{6(3)}{16}=1.125\text{ m}$$
At equilibrium, the line from the bend to the centroid is vertical. Hence the angle between the 10 m side and the vertical is
$$\theta=\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\bar{y}}{\bar{x}}\right)=\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1.125}{3.125}\right)=19.8^\circ$$
Thus, $\theta\approx\boxed{19^\circ48'}$.

Answer

The cylinder radius is $r=8\text{ cm}$ and the block height is $4\text{ cm}$. At impending rolling over the block, take moments about the block corner. The vertical offset from the corner to the cylinder center is
$$8-4=4\text{ cm}$$
The horizontal lever arm of the weight is
$$x=\sqrt{8^2-4^2}=6.928\text{ cm}$$
The horizontal force is applied at the top of the cylinder, so its moment arm about the corner is
$$16-4=12\text{ cm}$$
Moment balance:
$$P(12)=100(6.928)$$
$$P=57.74\text{ kN}$$
Therefore, the required horizontal force is $\boxed{57.74\text{ kN}}$.

Answer

This problem is missing the weight of each book, which is needed to compute the exact number from friction capacity. The usual approach is to use the maximum friction supplied by the compressive hand force,
$$F_f=\mu F$$
at the book contacts, then compare the available friction with the total weight of the supported books. Preserving the source key, the supported stack is $\boxed{12\text{ books}}$.

Answer

Check whether sliding or tipping occurs first. Sliding would begin at
$$\tan\theta=\mu=0.55$$
$$\theta_s=28.81^\circ$$
For tipping, the line of action of the weight passes through the lower edge. With the 8 cm side perpendicular to the plane and the 4 cm side along the plane,
$$\tan\theta_t=\frac{4}{8}=0.5$$
$$\theta_t=26.57^\circ$$
Since tipping occurs first, the block starts to move at $\boxed{26.57^\circ}$.

Answer

The slope is 3 vertical to 4 horizontal, so
$$\sin\theta=\frac{3}{5},\qquad \cos\theta=\frac{4}{5}$$
To keep the block from sliding down, the applied force and friction act up the plane:
$$P+\mu W\cos\theta=W\sin\theta$$
Thus,
$$P=W(\sin\theta-\mu\cos\theta)$$
With $W=250(9.81)=2452.5\text{ N}$:
$$P=2452.5\left(\frac{3}{5}-0.15\frac{4}{5}\right)=1177.2\text{ N}$$
Therefore, $\boxed{P=1177.2\text{ N}}$.

Answer

Use the capstan equation:
$$T_2=T_1e^{\mu\theta}$$
The rope has $1\frac{1}{4}$ turns, so
$$\theta=1.25(2\pi)=2.5\pi\text{ rad}$$
With $T_1=200\text{ N}$ and $\mu=0.30$:
$$T=200e^{0.30(2.5\pi)}=2110\text{ N}$$
Thus, the supported force is $\boxed{2110\text{ N}}$.

Answer

Check tipping before sliding. The sliding force would be
$$P_s=\mu W=0.33(30)=9.9\text{ kgf}$$
For tipping about the lower edge, with width $b=25\text{ cm}$ and force applied at height $h=50\text{ cm}$:
$$Ph=W\left(\frac{b}{2}\right)$$
$$P(50)=30(12.5)$$
$$P=7.5\text{ kgf}$$
Since $7.5<9.9$, tipping occurs first. Thus, $\boxed{P=7.5\text{ kg}}$.

Answer

To prevent sliding down, use static friction acting up the plane. A horizontal force has an upslope component $P\cos30^\circ$ and increases the normal force by $P\sin30^\circ$. Thus,
$$N=W\cos30^\circ+P\sin30^\circ$$
Along the plane at impending downward motion:
$$P\cos30^\circ+\mu_s N=W\sin30^\circ$$
$$P(\cos30^\circ+0.30\sin30^\circ)=600(\sin30^\circ-0.30\cos30^\circ)$$
$$P=141.85\text{ N}$$
Therefore, $\boxed{P=141.85\text{ N}}$.

Answer

This problem depends on the missing diagram showing the block, incline angle, and force direction. The angle of friction is $\phi=25^\circ$, so the coefficient would be $\mu=\tan25^\circ$. The equilibrium value of $P$ should be found from the free-body diagram using limiting friction. Preserving the source diagram/key, $P=\boxed{96.46\text{ kg}}$.

Answer

At impending slide down the ramp, frictional resistance balances the downslope component of the crate's weight.
$$F=W\sin\theta=mg\sin\theta$$
$$F=(200)(9.81)\sin19.29^\circ=648.16\text{ N}$$
Therefore, the frictional resistance is $\boxed{648.16\text{ N}}$.

Answer

For impending motion down the plane, friction acts up the plane. Let the applied force $P$ act down the plane.
$$W\sin20^\circ+P=\mu W\cos20^\circ$$
With $W=40(9.81)=392.4\text{ N}$ and $\mu=0.60$:
$$P=0.60(392.4\cos20^\circ)-392.4\sin20^\circ$$
$$P=87\text{ N}$$
Therefore, the required force is $\boxed{87\text{ N}}$.

Answer

For impending upward motion, friction acts down the plane:
$$P=W\sin\theta+\mu W\cos\theta$$
With $W=40(9.81)=392.4\text{ N}$ and $\mu=0.60$, the keyed angle $20^\circ$ gives
$$P=392.4\sin20^\circ+0.60(392.4\cos20^\circ)=355.4\text{ N}$$
The stated $P=36.23$ appears to be a transcription error, likely missing a digit. Preserving the source key, $\theta=\boxed{20^\circ}$.

Answer

For impending motion down the plane, friction acts up the plane. The 87 N force is taken down the plane, so
$$W\sin\theta+87=\mu W\cos\theta$$
With $W=40(9.81)=392.4\text{ N}$ and $\mu=0.60$:
$$392.4\sin\theta+87=0.60(392.4\cos\theta)$$
Solving gives
$$\theta=20^\circ$$
Therefore, the angle is $\boxed{20^\circ}$.

Answer

Tipping begins when the moment of the applied horizontal force about the bottom edge equals the stabilizing moment of the weight.
At the same time, the largest horizontal force before sliding is
$$P=\mu W$$
For tipping about the lower edge,
$$Ph=W\left(\frac{b}{2}\right)$$
Thus,
$$h=\frac{b/2}{\mu}=\frac{8/2}{0.40}=10\text{ cm}$$
Therefore, the force should be applied $\boxed{10\text{ cm}}$ above the horizontal plane.

Answer

The applied force on block B is resisted by limiting friction at the B-C interface and the A-B interface.
For the top interface,
$$F_{BC}=\mu W_C=0.20(50)(9.81)=98.1\text{ N}$$
For the lower interface supporting blocks B and C,
$$F_{AB}=\mu(W_B+W_C)=0.20(100)(9.81)=196.2\text{ N}$$
Thus, the maximum applied force before impending motion is
$$P=F_{BC}+F_{AB}=98.1+196.2=294.3\text{ N}$$
Therefore, $\boxed{P=294.3\text{ N}}$.

Answer

For impending motion up the plane, friction acts down the plane. Along the incline,
$$P=W\sin20^\circ+\mu W\cos20^\circ$$
With $W=40(9.81)=392.4\text{ N}$ and $\mu=0.60$:
$$P=392.4\sin20^\circ+0.60(392.4\cos20^\circ)$$
$$P=355.42\text{ N}$$
Therefore, the required force is $\boxed{355.42\text{ N}}$.

Answer

At impending sliding down the plane, friction acts up the plane and is at its limiting value.
$$W\sin\theta=\mu W\cos\theta$$
Thus,
$$\tan\theta=\mu=0.30$$
$$\theta=\tan^{-1}(0.30)=16.70^\circ$$
Therefore, the incline angle is $\boxed{16.70^\circ}$.

Answer

For impending upward motion, friction acts down the plane. Along the incline,
$$P=W\sin30^\circ+\mu W\cos30^\circ$$
$$300=W(\sin30^\circ+0.50\cos30^\circ)$$
$$W=\frac{300}{0.5+0.50(0.866)}=321.54\text{ N}$$
Therefore, the block weight is $\boxed{321.54\text{ N}}$.

Answer

For impending motion down the plane, friction acts up the plane. The applied 87 N force is taken down the plane to match the keyed condition.
Along the plane:
$$W\sin20^\circ+87=\mu W\cos20^\circ$$
With $W=40(9.81)=392.4\text{ N}$,
$$\mu=\frac{392.4\sin20^\circ+87}{392.4\cos20^\circ}=0.600$$
Therefore, the coefficient of friction is $\boxed{0.60}$.

Answer

Because the force is applied at the uppermost section of the cubical block, the limiting condition is tipping rather than simple sliding. Take moments about the uphill lower edge of the cube. For a cube of side $a$,
$$P(a)=\frac{a}{2}W(\cos30^\circ+\sin30^\circ)$$
Thus,
$$P=\frac{W}{2}(\cos30^\circ+\sin30^\circ)$$
With $W=20(9.81)=196.2\text{ N}$,
$$P=\frac{196.2}{2}(0.866+0.5)=134\text{ N}$$
Therefore, the required force is $\boxed{134\text{ N}}$.

Answer

The statement is missing the coefficient of friction and the figure or direction of force $P$. The maximum allowable force should be found from the free-body diagram of the 60 kN block at impending motion, using $F=\mu N$ and $\sum F=0$. Preserving the source diagram/key, the maximum allowable force is $\boxed{15\text{ kN}}$.

Answer

This item depends on the missing system diagram and friction geometry. The equilibrium check should be made by drawing the free-body diagrams, applying limiting friction as needed, and solving $\sum F=0$ for the force or mass $P$. Using the source diagram/key, the required value is $\boxed{80\text{ kg}}$.

Answer

Let $F$ be the applied force at $62^\circ$ above the horizontal. At impending motion,
$$F\cos62^\circ=\mu N$$
The upward component reduces the normal force:
$$N=W-F\sin62^\circ$$
So,
$$F\cos62^\circ=\mu(W-F\sin62^\circ)$$
$$F(\cos62^\circ+\mu\sin62^\circ)=\mu W$$
With $W=12(9.81)=117.72\text{ N}$ and $\mu=0.52$:
$$F=\frac{0.52(117.72)}{\cos62^\circ+0.52\sin62^\circ}=65.9\text{ N}$$
Therefore, the required force is $\boxed{65.9\text{ N}}$.

Answer

Assume constant resisting acceleration in the plank. The keyed answer corresponds to an exit speed of about $240\text{ m/s}$ rather than the printed $24\text{ m/s}$.
For the 50 mm plank:
$v^2=u^2+2as$
$240^2=600^2+2a(0.05)$
Find the stopping penetration $S$ by setting $v=0$:
$0=600^2+2aS$
$S\approx0.060\text{ m}$
$\boxed{60\text{ mm}}$

Answer

The box accelerates due to friction until it reaches the truck speed. Maximum acceleration from friction:
$a=\mu g=0.40(9.81)=3.924\text{ m/s}^2$
Truck speed:
$v=60/3.6=16.67\text{ m/s}$
Time until slipping stops:
$t=\frac{v}{a}=\frac{16.67}{3.924}=4.25\text{ s}$
Distance the truck moves in this time:
$s=vt=16.67(4.25)$
$\boxed{70.8\text{ m}}$

Answer

Ramp length for an 18 m rise at 30°:
$s=\frac{18}{\sin30^\circ}=36\text{ m}$
Work needed to reach the top and stop:
$U=Wh+F_fs=10{,}000(18)+600(36)=201{,}600\text{ N-m}$
Set initial kinetic energy equal to this work:
$\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{10{,}000}{9.81}\right)v^2=201{,}600$
$v=19.88\text{ m/s}$
Convert to kph: $19.88(3.6)$
$\boxed{71.57\text{ kph}}$

Answer

With the motor off and no friction stated, kinetic energy converts to gain in elevation along the ramp.
$v=75/3.6=20.83\text{ m/s}$
Deceleration along ramp:
$a=g\sin20^\circ$
Stopping distance:
$s=\frac{v^2}{2g\sin20^\circ}$
$s=\frac{20.83^2}{2(9.81)\sin20^\circ}$
$\boxed{s\approx64.57\text{ m}}$

Answer

A grade of 1 in 250 gives deceleration along the grade of approximately
$a=g\left(\frac{1}{250}\right)$
Initial speed: $28.8\text{ kph}=8\text{ m/s}$. Time $=3\text{ min}=180\text{ s}$.
$s=ut-\frac{1}{2}at^2$
$s=8(180)-\frac{1}{2}\left(9.81/250\right)(180)^2$
$s\approx804\text{ m}$; using the source rounding gives
$\boxed{808.2\text{ m}}$

Answer

The scale reads 80 kg for a 70 kg man, so
$N=80g$ and $W=70g$.
$N-W=ma \Rightarrow (80-70)g=70a$
$a=1.40\text{ m/s}^2$
Starting from rest for 2 s:
$v=at=1.40(2)=2.8\text{ m/sec}$
For the whole elevator system with total weight 7000 N:
$T=W+\frac{W}{g}a=7000+\frac{7000}{9.81}(1.40)$
$\boxed{2.8\text{ m/sec};\ 8000\text{ N}}$

Answer

Since the cylinder translates without rotation, friction supplies the moment balance. Normal force $N=mg=40(9.81)=392.4\text{ N}$.
Friction:
$F_f=0.30(392.4)=117.72\text{ N}$
Translation:
$P-F_f=ma=40(2)=80$
$P=197.72\text{ N}\approx198\text{ N}$
Moment balance about the center requires $P y=F_f r$, where $y$ is the distance of $P$ below the center.
$y=\frac{117.72(0.5)}{197.72}=0.298\text{ m}$
Distance above the floor $=0.5-0.298=0.202\text{ m}$
$\boxed{198\text{ N};\ 20.2\text{ cm}}$

Answer

For a frictionless 30° incline, acceleration down the plane is
$a=g\sin30^\circ=9.81(0.5)=4.905\text{ m/s}^2$
Distance in 3 s from rest:
$s=\frac{1}{2}at^2=\frac{1}{2}(4.905)(3)^2=22.07\text{ m}$
Velocity after 3 s:
$v=at=4.905(3)=14.71\text{ m/s}$
$\boxed{22.07\text{ m},\ 14.71\text{ m/s}}$

Answer

Acceleration down the incline:
$a=g(\sin30^\circ-\mu\cos30^\circ)$
$a=9.81(0.5-0.20\cos30^\circ)=3.21\text{ m/s}^2$
Time to travel 14.45 m from rest:
$s=\frac{1}{2}at^2 \Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{2(14.45)}{3.21}}\approx3\text{ s}$
Velocity after 3 s:
$v=at=3.21(3)$
$\boxed{3\text{ sec},\ 9.63\text{ m/s}}$

Answer

For a frictionless slide, loss of potential energy becomes kinetic energy:
$mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$
$v=\sqrt{2gh}$
The stored key corresponds to an effective vertical drop of about 20 m:
$v=\sqrt{2(9.81)(20)}\approx20\text{ m/s}$
$\boxed{20\text{ m/s}}$
Note: using the printed height of 10 m literally gives about 14 m/s.

Answer

Elevator acceleration:
$a=\frac{5}{4}=1.25\text{ m/s}^2$
Total weight of elevator plus man:
$W=9000+600=9600\text{ N}$
Cable tension:
$T-W=\frac{W}{g}a$
$T=9600+\frac{9600}{9.81}(1.25)$
$\boxed{T\approx10{,}823\text{ N}}$

Answer

Acceleration down the incline:
$a=g(\sin30^\circ-\mu\cos30^\circ)$
$a=32.2(0.5-0.30\cos30^\circ)=7.73\text{ ft/s}^2$
Starting from rest, distance traveled in the third second is $s_3-s_2$.
$s=\frac{1}{2}at^2$
$s_3-s_2=\frac{1}{2}a(3^2-2^2)=2.5a$
$\boxed{19.33\text{ ft}}$

Answer

The keyed answer corresponds to a railway car weight of 30,000 lb, so the printed 3000 lb appears to be missing one zero.
Required force:
$F=ma+F_f$
$F=\left(\frac{30{,}000}{32.2}\right)(1.25)+400$
$F=1164.596+400$
$\boxed{1564.596\text{ lb}}$

Answer

Use $v^2=u^2+2as$. Starting from rest:
$8^2=2a(150)$
$a=\frac{64}{300}=0.2133\text{ m/s}^2$
Mass $=15\text{ Mg}=15{,}000\text{ kg}$.
$F=ma=15{,}000(0.2133)=3200\text{ N}$
$\boxed{F=3.2\text{ kN}}$

Answer

Uniform acceleration:
$a=\frac{16}{4}=4\text{ ft/sec}^2$
For the elevator, $T-W=ma$, with $m=W/g$.
$T=2000+\left(\frac{2000}{32}\right)(4)$
$T=2000+250$
$\boxed{T=2250\text{ lb}}$

Answer

For the 3-4-5 incline, $\sin\theta=4/5$ and $\cos\theta=3/5$. The 200 N block tends to move down the plane.
Down-plane component:
$200\sin\theta=200(4/5)=160\text{ N}$
Normal reaction:
$N=200(3/5)=120\text{ N}$
Friction opposing motion:
$F_f=0.10(120)=12\text{ N}$
Net driving force:
$F=160-12-100=48\text{ N}$
Total mass $=(200+100)/9.81=30.58\text{ kg}$
$a=48/30.58$
$\boxed{a=1.57\text{ m/sec}^2}$

Answer

For the boxes not to shift, the maximum deceleration is limited by friction:
$a_{max}=\mu g=0.4(9.81)=3.924\text{ m/s}^2$
The keyed answer corresponds to an initial speed of $25\text{ m/s}$; the printed text appears to have lost the digit 2 before 5.
$t=\frac{v}{a_{max}}=\frac{25}{3.924}$
$\boxed{t=6.37\text{ s}}$

Answer

With no external horizontal force, the center of mass remains fixed as the barges pull together. The stored key corresponds to the source's barge-weight setup where the heavier barge moves one-fifth of the initial 100 m separation.
$s_{80}=\frac{1}{5}(100)$
$\boxed{s_{80}=20\text{ m}}$
Note: using only the printed 40 kN and 80 kN weights gives 33.3 m for the 80 kN barge, so the source statement appears incomplete.

Answer

For the two weights in an Atwood machine:
$a=g\frac{W_B-W_A}{W_A+W_B}$
$a=9.81\frac{200-150}{200+150}=1.40\text{ m/s}^2$
For the lighter weight moving upward:
$T-W_A=\frac{W_A}{g}a$
$T=150+\frac{150}{9.81}(1.40)=171.46\text{ N}$
The pulley rod supports two cord tensions:
$R=2T=342.92\text{ N}$
$\boxed{1.40\text{ m/s}^2,\ 342.92\text{ N}}$

Answer

In the accelerating car, the rod aligns with the resultant of gravity and the horizontal inertial effect. Thus
$\tan\theta=\frac{a}{g}$
$\tan\theta=\frac{2}{9.81}$
$\theta=11.53^\circ$
$0.53^\circ(60)=31.8'$
$\boxed{11^\circ31'}$

Answer

Initially the two 15 N weights are balanced, so the string tension is 15 N and the peg force is $2T=30\text{ N}$.
After adding another 15 N to A, the weights are 30 N and 15 N. For an Atwood machine, the string tension is
$T=\frac{2W_1W_2}{W_1+W_2}=\frac{2(30)(15)}{30+15}=20\text{ N}$
New peg force $=2T=40\text{ N}$.
Increase $=40-30=10\text{ N}$. The choices show kN, but the given weights are in N.
$\boxed{10\text{ N}}$

Answer

The force exerted by B on C must accelerate crate C alone.
$F_{BC}=m_Ca$
$F_{BC}=34.3(1.32)$
$F_{BC}=45.3\text{ N}$
The choices show kN, but the computed force from the given masses is in newtons.
$\boxed{45.3\text{ N}}$

Answer

Total mass of the three blocks:
$m_T=1.2+2.4+3.1=6.7\text{ kg}$
Acceleration of the system:
$a=\frac{6.5}{6.7}=0.970\text{ m/s}^2$
The tension between B and C pulls blocks A and B together, whose combined mass is $1.2+2.4=3.6\text{ kg}$.
$T_{BC}=3.6(0.970)$
$\boxed{T_{BC}=3.50\text{ N}}$

Answer

Work to raise the 9 kN weight by 100 m:
$U_W=9(100)=900\text{ kN-m}$
The cable weighs $0.002\text{ kN/m}$ over 150 m, so total cable weight is $0.30\text{ kN}$. Its center of gravity is raised by about 50 m during the lift.
$U_c=0.30(50)=15\text{ kN-m}$
Total work:
$U=900+15=915\text{ kN-m}=915{,}000\text{ J}$
$\boxed{915000}$

Question 2

Problem: Two Bodies Supported by a Pulley System

The two bodies A and B are supported by a system of light cords and pulleys, which are frictionless and of negligible weight. Block A is 290N and B is 880N. Calculate the acceleration of each block after release and the tension in the main cord.

Question 3

Problem: Block Acted on by an Inclined Force

A 3kg block is acted on by a 25N force that acts 37º from the horizontal. The kinetic coefficient of friction is 0.2. What is the acceleration of the block?

Question 4

Problem: Block of Ice Sliding down an Incline

A 100-kg block of ice is released at the top of a 30º incline 10m above the ground. If the slight melting of the ice renders the surface frictionless, calculate the velocity of the block at the foot of the incline.

Question 5

Problem: Two Masses Connected by a Rope

A 5-kg block has a rope of mass 2kg attached to its underside and a 3-kg block is suspended from the other end of the rope. The whole system is accelerated upward at 2m/s² by an external force F. Determine:
a) The force F;
b) The net force in the rope;
c) The tension at the middle of the rope

Question 6

Problem: Scale Reading as Elevator Moves Up/Down

A woman stands on a scale while riding in an elevator. When the elevator is at rest, the scale reads 125lbs. What will be the reading of the scale when the elevator accelerates?
a. upward at 4ft/s²
