- A block of mass m = 1.2Kg is on a plane %3D inclined at 30 degrees for which uc = 0.11. The block is connected to a spring of constant K = 3.2 N / m, by a rope passing, without slipping, by a pulley. The pulley is a disc of 0.8Kg and 0.14m radius. If the system is initially at rest and the spring has zero elongation, what is the block velocity modulus when the block has slid 0.25m down the inclined plane? k=3,2 N/m 130° A Figure 11.75arrow_forwardOne end of a uniform 2.60m rod with a mass of 38.0kg is supported by a cable connecting one end to the wall so that the cable makes an angle of 42.0° with respect to the rod. The other end rests against the vertical wall, where it is held in place by friction so that the rod is perfectly horizontal. A sign with an unknown mass is hung from the rod 1.90m from the wall so that wall exerts a normal force of 1790N on the rod in the positive x-direction. What is the mass of the sign in kilograms?arrow_forwardPart (A)- In a Hartnell governor, the mass of each ball is 6 kg. The lengths of ball arm and sleeve arm of each bell crank lever are 120 mm and 100 mm respectively. The minimum radius of rotation of governor ball is 90 mm. If the controlling forces are 1200 N and 600 N corresponding to 175 mm and 100 mm radius of rotation of governor balls respectively, find the initial compression of spring required.arrow_forward
- A 0.23 kg block is pressed up against a spring on a frictionless incline of angle 0 = 20.0° to the horizontal. The spring is initially compressed by x = 0.30 m from its equilibrium position (first arrow shown). When released from rest, the block travels along the incline a total distance (d + x) = 1.30 m until coming to rest again (where d = 1.00 m).
