- An object of mass m1 = 5.00 kg placed on a frictionless, horizontal table is connected to a string that passes over a pulley and then is fastened to a hanging object of mass m2 = 9.00 kg as shown in Figure P4.28. (a) Draw free-body diagrams of both objects. Find (b) the magnitude of the acceleration of the objects and (c) the tension in the string. Figure P4.28arrow_forwardReview. A block of mass m = 2.00 kg is released from rest at h = 0.500 m above the surface of a table, at the top of a = 30.0 incline as shown in Figure P4.53. The frictionless incline is fixed on a table of height H = 2.00 m. (a) Determine the acceleration of the block as it slides down the incline. (b) What is the velocity of the block as it leaves the incline? (c) How far from the table will the block hit the floor? (d) What time interval elapses between when the block is released and when it hits the floor? (e) Does the mass of the block affect any of the above calculations? Figure P4.53 Problems 53 and 59arrow_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_forward
- Two blocks, each of mass m, are hung from the ceiling of an elevator as in Figure P4.33. The elevator has an upward acceleration a. The strings have negligible mass. (a) Find the tensions T1 and T2 in the upper and lower strings in terms of m, a, and g. (b) Compare the two tensions and determine which string would break first if a is made sufficiently large. (c) What are the tensions if the cable supporting the elevator breaks? Figure P4.33 Problems 33 and 34.arrow_forward(a) What is the resultant force exerted by the two cables supporting the traffic light in Figure P4.75? (b) What is the weight of the light? Figure P4.75arrow_forwardFigure P4.26 shows loads hanging from the ceiling of an elevator that is moving at constant velocity. Find the tension in each of the three strands of cord supporting each load. Figure P4.26arrow_forward
- 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_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_forwardA setup similar to the one shown in Figure P4.53 is often used in hospitals to support and apply a traction force to an injured leg. (a) Determine the force of tension in the rope supporting the leg. (b) What is the traction force exerted on the leg? Assume the traction force is horizontal. Figure P4.53arrow_forward
- A car accelerates down a hill (Fig. P4.57), going from rest to 30.0 m/s in 6.00 s. A toy inside the car hangs by a string from the cars ceiling. The ball in the figure represents the toy, of mass 0.100 kg. The acceleration is such that the string remains perpendicular to the ceiling. Determine (a) the angle and (b) the tension in the string. Figure P4.57arrow_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_forwardA 64 kg baseball player jumps into the air throws a 151 g baseball directly eastward with a force of 8.4 N. What is the acceleration of the baseball? 56 m/s2 to the west 41 m/s2 to the east 56 m/s2 to the east 41 m/s2 to the westarrow_forward
