- Two objects are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley as shown in Figure P4.30. Assume the incline is frictionless and take m1 = 2.00 kg, m2 = 6.00 kg, and = 55.0. (a) Draw free-body diagrams of both objects. Find (b) the magnitude of the acceleration of the objects, (c) the tension in the string, and (d) the speed of each object 2.00 s after it is released from rest. Figure P4.30arrow_forwardIn Example 4.5, we pushed on two blocks on a table. Suppose three blocks are in contact with one another on a frictionless, horizontal surface as shown in Figure P4.49. A horizontal force F is applied to m1. Take m1 = 2.00 kg, m2 = 3.00 kg, m3 = 4.00 kg, and F = 18.0 N. (a) Draw a separate free-body diagram for each block. (b) Determine the acceleration of the blocks. (c) Find the resultant force on each block. (d) Find the magnitudes of the contact forces between the blocks. (e) You are working on a construction project. A coworker is nailing up plasterboard on one side of a light partition, and you are on the opposite side, providing backing by leaning against the wall with your back pushing on it. Every hammer blow makes your back sting. The supervisor helps you put a heavy block of wood between the wall and your back. Using the situation analyzed in parts (a) through (d) as a model, explain how this change works to make your job more comfortable. Figure P4.49arrow_forwardTwo blocks of mass 3.50 kg and 8.00 kg are connected by a massless string that passes over a frictionless pulley (Fig. P4.47). The inclines are frictionless. Find (a) the magnitude of the acceleration of each block and (b) the tension in the string. Figure P4.47arrow_forward

Draw a free-body diagram for each of the two objects. b. What is the tension in the cord? c. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the two objects? FIGURE P5.51 Problems 51 and 65.arrow_forwardA 276-kg glider is being pulled by a 1 950-kg jet along a horizontal runway with an acceleration of a = 2.20 m/s2 to the right as in Figure P4.41. Find (a) the thrust provided by the jets engines and (b) the magnitude of the tension in the cable connecting the jet and glider. Figure P4.41arrow_forwardIn Figure P4.35, the man and the platform together weigh 950 N. The pulley can be modeled as frictionless. Determine how hard the man has to pull on the rope to lift himself steadily upward above the ground. (Or is it impossible? If so, explain why.) Figure P4.35arrow_forward
- Three crates with masses m1 = 5.45 kg, m2 = 7.88 kg, and m3 = 4.89 kg are in contact on a frictionless surface. A horizontal force F = 205 N is applied to the third crate as shown in Figure P5.83. a. What is the magnitude of the contact force between crates 1 and 2? b. What is the magnitude of the contact force between crates 2 and 3? FIGURE P5.83arrow_forward(a) What is the minimum force of friction required to hold the system of Figure P4.74 in equilibrium? (b) What coefficient of static friction between the 100.-N block and the table ensures equilibrium? (c) If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the 100.-N block and the table is 0.250, what hanging weight should replace the 50.0-N weight to allow the system to move at a constant speed once it is set in motion? Figure P4.74arrow_forwardTwo blocks are connected by a rope that passes over a massless and frictionless pulley as shown in Figure P5.41.

- In Figure P4.53, the incline has mass M and is fastened to the stationary horizontal tabletop. The block of mass m is placed near the bottom of the incline and is released with a quick push that sets it sliding upward. The block stops near the top of the incline as shown in the figure and then slides down again, always without friction. Find the force that the tabletop exerts on the incline throughout this motion in terms of m, M, g, and .arrow_forwardAn object of mass M is held in place by an applied force F and a pulley system as shown in Figure P4.43. The pulleys are massless and frictionless. (a) Draw diagrams showing the forces on each pulley. Find (b) the tension in each section of rope, T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5 and (c) the magnitude of F. Figure P4.43 44. Any device that allows you to increase the force you exert is a kind of machine. Some machines, such as the prybar or the inclined plane, are very simple. Some machines do not even look like machines. For example, your car is stuck in the mud and you cant pull hard enough to get it out. You do, however, have a long cable that you connect taut between your front bumper and the trunk of a stout tree. You now pull sideways on the cable at its midpoint, exerting a force f. Each half of the cable is displaced through a small angle from the straight line between the ends of the cable. (a) Deduce an expression for the force acting on the car. (b) Evaluate the cable tension for the case where = 7.00 and f = 100 N.arrow_forwardA rope with mass m, is attached to a block with mass mb, as in Figure P4.72.

(c) Find the magnitude of the force the rope exerts on the block, (d) What happens to the force on the block as the ropes mass approaches zero?
