ATWOOD'S MACHINE Draw a free body diagram of m1 and another free body diagram of m2. Using these diagrams, apply Newton’s second law to each mass. Assume that the tension is the same on each mass and that they have the same acceleration. From these two equations, find an expression for the acceleration of m1 in terms of m1, m2, and g. Compare the expression to your result in Step 5 of Analysis.

A disk rotating with constant acceleration of 0.005 revolutions / s2 And the movement starts from rest. What is the angle velocity after one minute? How many turns makes the same disc in point number one after one minute. If an external force does not affect the body, what does that mean? And if the body is in free fall, is its speed constant or variable, what is its acceleration equal, and how can the friction be reduced between the contact surfaces
A uniform drawbridge must be held at a 37° angle abovethe horizontal to allow ships to pass underneath. The drawbridge weighs45,000 N and is 14.0 m long. A cable is connected 3.5 m from thehinge where the bridge pivots (measured along the bridge) and pullshorizontally on the bridge to hold it in place. If the cable suddenly breaks, what is the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the drawbridge just after the cable breaks?

The 100 meter diameter wheel needs to be designed so that it rotates at a constant rate and every complete revolution takes 15 minutes. The wheel has been installed in a vertical plane and the lowest seat is 2m above the ground surface. Each ride consists of only one full rotation. Find a further general expression for the horizontal displacement of the rider from its initial position with respect to both time and angle of rotation and hence determine the speed of the rider when t= 180 sec. Using calculus, determine what the maximum horizontal and vertical speeds of the rider would be and at which points during the ride they occur. State expressions for the acceleration of the rider in both horizontal and vertical directions and show that the resultant acceleration experienced by the rider is independent of where on the ride he/she might be. In designing a new wheel with the same diameter and same ride duration as before it is proposed that the wheel’s angular speed should not…

A freighter is moving at a speed of 8 nautical miles per hour. The engines then had to be suddenly stopped. If it takes 10 minutes for the freighter toreduce its speed to 3 knots, determine the distance moved by the ship and its speed at the end of this interval. The deceleration of the ship is proportionalto the square of its speed such that a = -kV2. Applying principles of dynamics, provide a complete solution
