The tangential force method involves finding the component of the applied force that is perpendicular to the displacement from the pivot point to where the force is applied. This perpendicular component of the force is called the tangential force.

(a) What is , the magnitude of the tangential force that acts on the pole due to the tension in the rope?

Express your answer in terms of

and

.

When using the tangential force method, you calculate the torque using the equation

$\tau = f_{\rm t} d$ ,

where

is the distance from the pivot to the point where the force is applied. The sign of the torque can be determined by checking which direction the tangential force would tend to cause the pole to rotate (where counterclockwise rotation implies positive torque).

(b) What is the magnitude of the torque

on the pole, about point A, due to the tension in the rope?

Express your answer in terms of

, and

The moment arm method involves finding the effective moment arm of the force. To do this, imagine a line parallel to the force, running through the point at which the force is applied, and extending off to infinity in either direction. You may shift the force vector anywhere you like along this line without changing the torque, provided you do not change the direction of the force vector as you shift it. It is generally most convenient to shift the force vector to a point where the displacement from it to the desired pivot point is perpendicular to its direction. This displacement is called the moment arm.

For example, consider the force due to tension acting on the pole. Shift the force vector to the left, so that it acts at a point directly above point A in the figure. The moment arm of the force is the distance between the pivot and the tail of the shifted force vector. The magnitude of the torque about the pivot is the product of the moment arm and force, and the sign of the torque is again determined by the sense of the rotation of the pole it would cause.

A very thin glass rod 4 meters long is rubbed all over with a silkcloth. It gains a uniformly distributed charge 1.6X10^â6 C. Twosmall spherical rubber balloons of radius 1.2 cm are rubbed allover with wool. They each gain a uniformly distributed charge of-8X10^â8 C.

A boy in a wheelchair (total mass 50.5 kg) has a speed of 1.40 m/s at the crest of a slope 2.40 m high and 12.4 m long. At the bottom of the slope, his speed is 6.50 m/s. Assume air resistance and rolling resistance can be modeled as a constant friction force of 41.0 N. Find the work he did in pushing forward on his wheels during the downhill ride.

There are two forces that cause the wheelchair to accelerate. These two forces are the component of the wheelchair’s weight that is parallel to the hill and the force the boy exerts. The net force on the wheelchair is equal to the sum of these two forces minus the friction force. Let’s use the following equation to determine the acceleration.

vf2 = vi^2 + 2 * a * d

6.5^2 = 1.4^2 + 2 * a * 12.4

24.8 * a = 40.29

a = 40.29 ÷ 24.8

This is approximately 1.62 m/s^2.

Net force = 50.5 * 40.29 ÷ 24.8 = 2034.645 ÷ 24.8

This is approximately 82 N.

Force parallel = 50.5 * 9.8 * 2.40 ÷ 12.4 = 1187.76 ÷ 12.4

This is approximately 95.8 N. This force and the force that the boy exerts are the forces that cause the wheelchair to accelerate.

Net force = F + (1187.76 ÷ 12.4) – 41

Set the two net forces equal to each other.

F + (1187.76 ÷ 12.4) – 41 = 2034.645 ÷ 24.8

F = 41 + (2034.645 ÷ 24.8) – (1187.76 ÷ 12.4)

F is approximately 27.3 N

Work = [41 + (2034.645 ÷ 24.8) – (1187.76 ÷ 12.4)] * 12.4 = 337.9625 J

His change in kinetic energy is due to gravitational- and his own work,

while the friction does negative work.

∆K = ∆U +∆W + ∆Wf

½m(Vf²−Vi²) = mgh + ∆W + Ff*d

∆W = ½m(Vf²−Vi²) − mgh − Ff*d

∆W = ½*50.5(6.5²−1.4²) − (50.5*9.8*2.4) − (−41*12.4)

∆W = 508 J

I'm sure there is some crucial information in "the figure below" !!!

Edit:

OK... now we got something to work with ... ;-)

Time needed to fall a vertical distance of 1.9 m is:

t = √( 2h / g )

t = √[ 2×(1.9 m) / (9.81 m/s²) ]

t = 0.6224 s

In that time, the block must travel a horizontal distance of 4.59 m, so the horizontal velocity is:

r = v×t

(4.59 m) = v×(0.6224 s)

v = 7.37 m/s < - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - answer B

That is also the speed of the block as it leaves the spring.

Its kinetic energy at that time is:

KE = m×v²/2

KE = (0.487 kg)×(7.3749 m/s)²/2

KE = 13.244 J

That is also the elastic potential energy stored in the spring at maximum compression. So the spring constant is:

KE = PEe = k×d²/2

(13.244 J) = k×(0.047 m)²/2

k = 12 N/m < - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - answer A

The gravitational potential energy of the block on the table is:

PEg = m×g×h

PEg = (0.487 kg)×(9.81 m/s²)×(1.9)

PEg = 9.077 J

The total energy of the block on the table is:

TE = PEg + PEe

TE = (9.077 J) + (13.244 J)

TE = 22.32 J

When hitting the ground, all that energy is converted to kinetic energy, so

TE = KE = m×v²/2

(22.32 J) = (0.487 kg)×v²/2

v = 9.57 m/s < - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - answer C

There must be a height above ground and a distance from the end of the track on the "as shown in the figure below".??

use f=kl

where k is the spring constant and l is extension from the natural length.

k=f/l

since you have mass in grams. use w=mg

w=0.487 x 9.8 = 4.77N

Now use the equation,

k=4.77/4.7

k=1.012

Note: my answer could be wrong since I do not know the springs original length from the diagram shown. But, the method of working out spring constant is same.

Physics Momentum, Rolling?

Pat builds a track for his model car out of wood. The track is 10.00 cm wide and 3.00 m long, and is solid. The runway is cut such that it forms a parabola by the equation y=(x - 3)^2/9. Locate the horizontal position of the center of gravity of this track.
 
A washing machine load in the "spin" cycle, (much like a centrifuge used to separate fluids), can be modeled as a cylinder which has zero density toward the center, and starting from some inner radius where the clothes (or fluids) begin, increases in density as you move radially outward. The washing machine has density of clothes (in SI units) of p=14r+5, a height of 0.51 m, and only has clothes present from inner radius 0.2m out to 0.7m from the center.

I can't visualize the first problem.

The second: Moment of inertia is I = m r^2. In a shell of thickness dr there is a mass of p * 2 * pi * r * h * dr. The moment of inertia of the shell is 2 pi h p r^3 dr. Now integrate this from r = 0.2m to r = 0.7m.

Kinetic energy is 1/2 m v^2. In rotations the moment of inertia is like the mass and the angular velocity is like the velocity, so rotational energy is 1/2 I omega^2. Omega is in rad/s. The total inertia of the system is the sum of the inertia of the clothes and the basin. Divide the energy by the time needed to get the power.

♣the distance the pig was pushed up is

s=0.5*a*t^2, where s=1.8m, a=4.9m/s^2, t is time of push-up;

speed of the pig gained after s=1.8m is v=a*t; thus v^2=2as;

♠ kinetic energy of the pig at the moment it’s released after push-up is

E=0.5*m*v^2, which is enough for the pig to move by itself L distance more along the ramp, where L=h/sin(b), h=50cm=0.5m, b is angle in question;

♦pig’s potential energy at vertex (when stopped) is E1=mgh;

the energy E2=E-E1 is gone on friction, that is E2=f*L is work of friction, where

f=μ*w1, w1=mg*cos(b) is component of pig’s weight normal to the aluminum ramp; or;

f= μ*mg*cos(b);

♦Thus E2=E-E1; or; f*L = 0.5*m*v^2 –mgh; or;

(μ*mg*cos(b)) * (h/sin(b)) =0.5*m* 2as –mgh; or;

μ*gh*cos(b)/sin(b) =as –gh, hence cot(b) =(as –gh)/(μ*gh), hence

(a); b=atan(μ*gh/(as-gh))= atan(0.07*9.8*0.5/(4.9*1.8 -9.8*0.5)) =5°;

♥ pig’s potential energy above the low end of the ramp is

W= mg*(s*sin(b) +h); pig’s ramp position is p=s +L = s + h/sin(b);

Pig’s final kinetic energy is W1=W-W2, where W2=f*p is work of friction;

and W1=0.5*m*v^2; thus

0.5*m*v^2 = mg*(s*sin(b) +h) – μ*mg*cos(b)*(s + h/sin(b));

v^2 =2g*(s*sin(b) +h)*(1 –μ*cot(b)) =2.575;

(b); v =1.605 m/s;
