A small block with mass m is set on the top of an upside-down hemispherical bowl. If the coefficient of static friction between the block and the bowl is μs and the block is slowly repositioned at different points down the surface of the bowl, at what angle measured from the vertical will the block begin to slide? Write your answer in terms of the mass, m; the gravitational acceleration on Earth, g; and the coefficient of static friction, μs. (Assume the +y axis is vertically upward.)
A makeshift sign hangs by a wire that is extended over an ideal pulley and is wrapped around a large potted plant on the roof as shown in Figure P6.10. When first set up by the shopkeeper on a sunny and dry day, the sign and the pot are in equilibrium. Is it possible that the sign falls to the ground during a rainstorm while still remaining connected to the pot? What would have to be true for that to be possible? FIGURE P6.10 Problems 10 and 11.
Instead of moving back and forth, a conical pendulum moves in a circle at constant speed as its string traces out a cone (Fig. P6.68). One such pendulum is constructed with a string of length L = 12.0cm and bob of mass 0.210 kg. The string makes an angle = 7.00 with the vertical, a. What is the radial acceleration of the bob? b. What are the horizontal and vertical components of the tension force exerted by the string on the bob?
An engineer wants to design a circular racetrack of radius r such that cars of mass m can go around the track at speed V without the aid of friction or other forces other than the perpendicular contact force from the track surface. Find an expression for the required banking angle θ of the track, measured from the horizontal. Express the answer in terms of m, r, V, and g. Suppose the race cars actually round the track at a speed w>V. What additional radial force Fr is required to keep the cars on the track at this speed? Express the answer in terms of m, r, V, w, and g.
