- An aluminum block of mass m1 = 2.00 kg and a copper block of mass m2 = 6.00 kg are connected by a light string over a frictionless pulley. They sit on a steel surface as shown in Figure P5.46, where = 30.0. (a) When they are released from rest, will they start to move? If they do, determine (b) their acceleration and (c) the tension in the string. If they do not move, determine (d) the sum of the magnitudes of the forces of friction acting on the blocks. Figure P5.46arrow_forwardA car is stuck in the mud. A tow truck pulls on the car with the arrangement shown in Figure P5.24. The tow cable is under a tension of 2 500 N and pulls downward and to the left on the pin at its upper end. The light pin is held in equilibrium by forces exerted by the two bars A and B. Each bar is a strut; that is, each is a bar whose weight is small compared to the forces it exerts and which exerts forces only through hinge pins at its ends. Each strut exerts a force directed parallel to its length. Determine the force of tension or compression in each strut. Proceed as follows. Make a guess as to which way (pushing or pulling) each force acts on the top pin. Draw a free-body diagram of the pin. Use the condition for equilibrium of the pin to translate the free-body diagram into equations. From the equations calculate the forces exerted by struts A and B. If you obtain a positive answer, you correctly guessed the direction of the force. A negative answer means that the direction should be reversed, but the absolute value correctly gives the magnitude of the force. If a strut pulls on a pin. it is in tension. If it pushes, the strut is in compression. Identify whether each strut is in tension or in compression.arrow_forwardJamal and Dayo are lifting a large chest, weighing 207 lb, by using the two rope handles attached to either side. As they lift and hold it up so that it is motionless, each handle makes a different angle with respect to the vertical side of the chest (Fig. P5.76). If the angle between Jamals handle and the vertical side is 25.0 and the angle between Dayos handle and the vertical side of the chest is 30.0, what are the tensions in each handle?

How does the upward tension force compare to the downward force of gravity? O The upward tension force is stronger than the downward force of gravity. The downward force of gravity is stronger than the upward tension force. The tension force and the force of gravity are of equal strength.arrow_forward

Two blocks of mass m1 and m2 are held at rest by a wire directed down a frictionless inclined plane as shown in the figure. At times t < 0 the wire provides a constant force Fo.
