Two masses mA =9.3kg and mB=6.1kg are on inclines and are connected together by a string as shown in the figure. The angles theta subscript A=700 and theta subscript B = 360 . In the absence of the friction, the force F is required to pull the masses at a constant velocity up the fixed inclines. The force F is now removed. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the two blocks? Take g =9.81 m/s2, and express your answer using two decimal places.
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.
A mountain climber practices his technique in a mountain climbing school by balancing while suspended by two ropes attached to the ceiling. As shown by the figure, the left rope makes an angle of 60 degrees with the horizontal ceiling and the right rope makes an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal ceiling. If the right rope has tension T1=322 N, what is the weight of the mountain climber?
In most of the problems you have dealt with so far, weight is equal in magnitude to that of the normal force. Is it possible for the normal force not to be equal to weight? Explain your answer. Yes, it is possible. Oftentimes, normal force counteracts the weight, thus making them equal. This happens when the object is situated on a horizontal surface and the force is exerted on the direction of the gravitational field. Otherwise, as in the case of an elevator accelerating downwards, N and W will not equalize. Yes, it is possible. Oftentimes, normal force counteracts the weight, thus making them equal. This happens when the object is situated on a vertical surface and the force is exerted on the direction of the gravitational field. Otherwise, as in the case of an elevator accelerating downwards, N and W will not equalize. No, it is not possible. Oftentimes, normal force counteracts the weight, thus making them equal. This happens when the object is situated on a horizontal…
Using the same force table that you used, a student was given two forces and asked to find a single force that would produce equilibrium with the two forces. The two forces were given by providing one of the components and the angle the force made with the positive x- axis. The two forces were as follows: Force 1: ?? = −2.70 ?; ? = 220.0 degreees Force 2: ?? = 3.20 ?; ? = 60.0 degrees (a) For each force, calculate the magnitude of the force and the mass required to produce it. (b) Calculate the mass and its angle of application to produce equilibrium with these two forces. Please specify your angle as counterclockwise positive with respect to the positive x-axis.
There are two forces on the 1.19 kg box in the overhead view of the figure but only one is shown. For F1 = 15.7 N, a = 14.7 m/s2, and θ = 34.1°, find the second force (a) in unit-vector notation and as (b) a magnitude and (c) a direction. (State the direction as a negative angle measured from the +x direction.)
A magnet of mass 4.72 kg is suspended from the ceiling by a cord as shown. A large magnet is somewhere off to the right, pulling on the small hanging magnet with a constant force of F = 57.1 N. At what angle theta ?with respect to the vertical does the magnet hang? Consider the same situation as in the previous problem. This time the magnet has mass 6.62 kg and the force pulling the magnet to the right has magnitude 180.6 N. What is the magnitude of the tension force in the cord? Same situation as in the previous problem this time the magnet has mass 7.25 kg, the force pulling it to the right is 111.3 N, the cord has length 0.54 m and the ceiling is 2.82 m above the floor. How far to the right of its start point will the magnet have traveled when it hits the floor after the cord is cut? OK, one more time. This time the magnet has mass 6.78 kg and the force pulling it to the right is 175.5 N. When the magnet hits the floor, it continues being pulled to the right by the same…

Chuck Schumer tried to use the internet to help solve the following problem, but it did not work. So, he sees no other choice but to use a lot of tax payer money to help him. The problem is that he has a 4-kg can of gasoline resting on a 30 degree incline as shown. If the coefficient of static friction between the can and the incline is 0.7, with what magnitude force must a horizontal force act on the can to start it sliding up the incline toward the back of a truck headed to places unknown? a) 84.1 N b) 34.0 N c) 76.4 N d) 54.7 N e) 51.1 N
