- 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_forwardA 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_forwardA block of mass m = 5.8 kg is pulled up a = 25 incline as in Figure P4.24 with a force of magnitude F = 32 N. (a) Find the acceleration of the bloc k if the incline is frictionless. (b) Find the acceleration of the block if the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and incline is 0.10.

- A 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_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_forwardTwo objects, m1 = 3.00 kg and m2 = 8.50 kg, are attached by a massless cord passing over a frictionless pulley as shown in Figure P5.51. Assume the horizontal surface is frictionless. a. 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_forward
- 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_forwardTwo 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_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
- In Figure CQ4.16, the light, taut, unstretchable cord B joins block 1 and the larger-mass block 2. Cord A exerts a force on block 1 to make it accelerate forward. (a) How does the magnitude of the force exerted by cord A on block 1 compare with the magnitude of the force exerted by cord B on block 2? Is it larger, smaller, or equal? (b) How does the acceleration of block 1 compare with the acceleration (if any) of block 2? (c) Does cord B exert a force on block 1? If so, is it forward or backward? Is it larger, smaller, or equal in magnitude to the force exerted by cord B on block 2? Figure CQ4.16arrow_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_forwardA certain orthodontist uses a wire brace to align a patients crooked tooth as in Figure P4.88. The tension in the wire is adjusted to have a magnitude of 18.0 N. Find the magnitude of the net force exerted by the wire on the crooked tooth. Figure P4.38arrow_forward
