Answer to Problem 39AP

The distance d of the car coasts upward as a function of n is (1890+80n)(0.459m80n150) .

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The mass of car is 800kg , mass of counterweight is 950kg , mass of pulley is 280kg , radius of pulley is 0.700m , mass of each people is 80.0kg , speed of elevator car is 3.00m/s .

From the law of energy conservation,

Ei=Ef (1)

Here,

Ei is the total initial energy of the system.

Ef is the total final energy of the system.

Formula to calculate the total initial energy of the system is,

Ei=Kei+Kci+Ksi (2)

Here,

Kei is the initial translational kinetic energy of the elevator.

Kti is the initial translational kinetic energy of the counterweight.

Ksi is the initial rotational kinetic energy of the sheave pulley.

Write the expression for the initial translational kinetic energy of the elevator is,

Kei=12mev2

Here,

me is the mass of the elevator.

v is the initial speed of the system.

Write the expression for the initial translational kinetic energy of the counterweight is,

Kci=12mcv2

Here,

mc is the mass of the counterweight.

Write the expression for the initial rotational kinetic energy of the sheave is,

Ksi=12Isω2 (3)

Here,

Is is the moment of inertia of the sheave pulley.

ω is the angular speed of the sheave pulley.

Write the expression for the moment of inertia of the pulley is,

I=12msr2

Here,

ms is the mass of the sheave pulley.

Write the expression for the initial angular speed of the pulley is,

ω=vr

Here,

r is the radius of the sheave pulley.

Substitute 12msr2 for I and vr for ω in equation (3).

Ksi=12(12msr2)(vr)2=14msv2

Substitute 12mev2 for Kei , 12mcv2 for Kci and 14msv2 for Ksi in equation (2).

Ei=12mev2+12mcv2+14msv2=12(me+mc+12ms)v2 (4)

Since at the end the system comes to rest hence all the kinetic energies will be zero only potential energy remains in the system.

Formula to calculate the total final energy of the system is,

Ef=Uef+Uec+Ues (5)

Here,

Uef is the final potential energy of the elevator.

Kti is the final potential energy of the counterweight.

Ksi is the final potential energy of the sheave pulley.

Write the expression for the final potential energy of the elevator is,

Uef=megd

Here,

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

d is the distance cover by the system.

Write the expression for the final potential energy of the counterweight is,

Ucf=mcgd

Here,

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

d is the distance cover by the system.

Since the sheave pulley remains at its position so its final potential energy is zero.

Usf=0

Substitute megd for Uef , mcgd for Ucf and 0 for Usf in equation

Ef=megdmcgd+0=(memc)gd

Substitute 12(me+mc+12ms)v2 for Ei and (memc)gd for Ef in equation (1).

12(me+mc+12ms)v2=(memc)gd (6)

Formula to calculate the mass of the elevator is,

me=mcar+nm

Here,

mcar is the mass of the car.

n is the number of people enter in the elevator.

m is the mass of each person.

Substitute mcar+nm for me in equation ()

12((mcar+nm)+mc+12ms)v2=((mcar+nm)mc)gd

Substitute 800kg for mcar , 80kg for m , 950kg for mc , 280kg for ms , 3.00m/s for v and 9.8m/s2 for g in above equation to find the expression for d in terms of n .

12[(800kg+n(80kg))+950kg+12×280kg](3.00m/s)2=((800kg+n(80kg))950kg)(9.8m/s2)dd=[1890+n(80kg)](4.5m2/s2)[n(80kg)150kg](9.8m/s2)=(1890+80n)(0.459m80n150)

Conclusion:

Therefore, the distance d of the car coasts upward as a function of n is (1890+80n)(0.459m80n150) .

Answer to Problem 39AP

The mass of the elevator is less than the mass of the counterweight for the value of n=0 and for n=1 , so If it released the car would accelerate in upward direction.

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The mass of car is 800kg , mass of counterweight is 950kg , mass of pulley is 280kg , radius of pulley is 0.700m , mass of each people is 80.0kg , speed of elevator car is 3.00m/s .

The expression for the distance d for the n from part (a) is given by,

d=(1890+80n)(0.459m80n150)

Substitute 1 for n in above equation to find d .

d=(1890+80×1)(0.459m80×1150)=904.23m70=12.9m

Since the value of distance d is negative for n=0 or n=1 that indicates car would accelerate in upward direction because the mass of the counterweight becomes greater than the mass of the elevator which is undesirable.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the mass of the elevator is less than the mass of the counterweight for the value of n=0 and for n=1 , so If it released the car would accelerate in upward direction.

Answer to Problem 39AP

The value of d for which the infinite number of people enter into the elevator is 0.459m .

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The mass of car is 800kg , mass of counterweight is 950kg , mass of pulley is 280kg , radius of pulley is 0.700m , mass of each people is 80.0kg , speed of elevator car is 3.00m/s .

The expression for the distance d for the n from part (a) is given by,

d=(1890+80n)(0.459m80n150)

Rearrange the above equation.

d=(1890n+80)(0.459m80150n)

Substitute for n in above equation to find d .

d=(1890+80)(0.459m80150)=(0+80)(0.459m800)=0.459m

Since the value of distance d is negative for n=0 or n=1 but it becomes positive after the value of n become greater than 2 because distance cannot be negative. So, the expression for the part (a) is valid only for n2 .

Conclusion:

Therefore, the value of d for which the infinite number of people enter into the elevator is 0.459m .

Consider a bowling ball which is tossed down a bowling alley. For this problem, we will consider the bowling ball to be a uniform sphere of mass M and radius R, with a moment of inertia given by I = (2/5)MR2. The moment the ball hits the ground (t = 0), it is moving horizontally with initial linear speed v0, but not rotating (ω0 = 0). Due to kinetic friction between the ground and the ball, it begins to rotate as it slides. The coefficient of kinetic friction is µk. As the ball slides along the lane, its angular speed steadily increases. At some point (time tc), the “no-slip” condition kicks in, so that ω = v/R. After this, the ball moves with a constant linear and angular speed. Solve all parts of this problem symbolically.   Use the rotational version of Newton’s second law to find an expression for the angular acceleration of the ball along the z-direction before the no-slip condition kicks in, αz. Your final expression should only involve the variables R, g, and µ
