Assignment No 4

Question No 1: A block of mass m1 on a frictionless inclined plane making an angle θ1


with the horizontal is connected by a cord over a small frictionless, massless pulley to a
second block of mass m2 on a frictionless plane at an angle θ2 (See the figure below)

(a) Show that the acceleration of each block is

And that the tension in the chord is

(b) Evaluate the acceleration and tension for m1 = 3.70 kg and m2 = 4.86 kg when
θ1 = 280 and θ2=420. What direction does m1 move along the plane?
(c) Using the values of m1, θ1 and θ2 given above for what values of m 2 does m1
accelerate up the plane? Accelerate down the plane? Not accelerate?

Question No 2: Someone exerts a force F directly up on the axle of the pulley as


shown in the figure. Consider the pulley and string to be massless and the bearings
frictionless. Two objects, m1 of mass 1.2 kg and m2 of mass 1.9 kg are attached as
shown to the opposite ends of the string, which passes over the pulley. The object m2 is
in contact with the floor.

a. What is the largest value the force F may have so that m2 will remain at rest on
the floor?

b. What is the tension in the string if the upward force F is 110N?

c. With the tension determined in part (b), what is the acceleration of m1?
Question No 3: Two particles, each of mass m, are connected by a light string of length
2L, as shown in the figure below. A steady force F is applied at the midpoint of the
string (x = 0) at a right angle to the initial position of the string. Show that the
acceleration of each mass in the direction at 900 to F is given by

In which x is the perpendicular distance of one of the particles from the line of action of
F. Discuss the situation when x = L

Question No 4: A 7.96 kg block rests on a plane inclined at 220 to the horizontal, as


shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction is 0.25, while the coefficient of
kinetic friction is 0.15

a. What is the minimum force F, parallel to the plane, that will prevent the block
from slipping down the plane?

b. What is the minimum force F that wil start the block moving up the plane?

c. What force F is required to move the block up the plane at constant velocity?
Question No 5. A worker wishes to pile sand onto a circular area in his yard. The radius
of the circle is R. No sand is to spill onto the surrounding area (See the figure). Show
that the greatest volume of sand that can be stored in this manner is πµsR3/3, where µs
is the coefficient of static friction of sand on sand. (The volume of a cone is Ah/3, where
A is the base area and h is the height.)

Question No 6: The handle of a floor mop of mass m makes an angle Ɵ with the
vertical direction (See the figure). Let µk be the coefficient of kinetic friction between
mop and floor and µs the coefficient of static friction between mop and floor. Neglect the
mass of handle.

a. Find the magnitude of the force F directed along the handle required to slide the
mop with uniform velocity across the floor.

b. Show that if Ɵ is smaller than a certain angle Ɵ0 the mop cannot be made to
slide across the floor, no matter how great a force is directed along the handle.
What is the angle Ɵ0?
Question No 7: Two objects, with masses m1 = 1.65 kg and m2=3.22 kg, attached by a
massless rod parallel to the incline on which both slides as shown in the figure, travel
down the plane with m1 trailing m2. The angle of the incline is θ = 29.50. The coefficient
of kinetic friction between m1 and the inclined is µ1 = 0.226, between m2 and the incline
the corresponding coefficient is µ2 = 0.127. Compute

a. The common acceleration of the two objects and

b. The tension in the rod

c. What are the answers to (a) (b) if m2 trails m1?

Question No 8: A massless rope is tossed over a wooden dowel of radius r in order to


lift a heavy object of weight W off of the floor, as shown in the figure. The coefficient of
sliding friction between the rope and the dowel is µ. Show that the minimum downward
pull on the rope necessary to lift the object is

Fdown = Weπµ
Question No 9: A 1.34 kg ball is attached to a rigid vertical rod by means of two
massless strings each 1.70 m long. The strings are attached to the rod at points 1.70 m
apart. The system is rotating about the axis of the rod, both strings being taut and
forming an equilateral triangle with the rod, as shown in the figure. The tension in the
upper string is 35 N.

a. Find the tension in the lower string.

b. Calculate the net force on the ball at the instant shown in the figure.

c. What is the speed of the ball?

Question No 10: The two blocks, m = 16 kg and M = 88 kg (as shown in the figure) are
free to move. The coefficient of static friction between the blocks is µs = 0.38, but the
surface beneath M is frictionless, what is the minimum horizontal force F required to
hold m against M?
