Concept explainers
Boxes are transported from one location to another in a warehouse by means of a conveyor belt that moves with a constant speed of 0.50 m/s. At a certain location the conveyor belt moves for 2.0 m up an incline that makes an angle of 10° with the horizontal, then for 2.0 m horizontally, and finally for 2.0 m down an incline that makes an angle of 10° with the horizontal. Assume that a 2.0 kg box rides on the belt without slipping. At what rate is the force of the conveyor belt doing work on the box as the box moves (a) up the 10° incline, (b) horizontally, and (c) down the 10° incline?

- Using a simple pulley and rope system, a crewman on an Arctic expedition is trying to lower a crate of mass ?1=5.13 kg to the bottom of a steep ravine of height ?=22.5 m. The crewman of mass ?2=60.9 kg is walking while holding the rope, being careful to lower the crate at a constant speed of ?0=1.50 m/s. Unfortunately, when the crate reaches a point ℎ=12.5 m above the ground, the crewman steps on a slick patch of ice and slips. The crate immediately accelerates toward the ground, dragging the hapless crewman across the ice and toward the edge of the cliff. Assuming the ice is perfectly slick, so that there is no friction between the crewman and the ice once he slips and falls down, at what speed ?1 will the crate hit the ground? Assume also that the rope is long enough to allow the crate to hit the ground before the crewman slides over the side of the cliff, and that the pulley is frictionless. ?1=. m/s At what speed ?2 will the crewman hit the bottom of the ravine? Assume no…arrow_forwardAt what initial speed should a box of mass m be thrown parallel to the surface of the inclined plane from the lower end of an inclined plane with friction making a 30 degree angle with the horizontal direction so that it can travel 3m on the inclined plane?

When the boat is 500 m from the reef, the wind stops and the engineer manages to start the engines. The rudder is stuck, so the only option is to try to accelerate backwards. The mass of the ship and its cargo is 3.6 x 107 kg and the engines produce a net horizontal force of 8 x 104 N. The hull can withstand impacts at a speed of 0.2 m / s or less.
