Circular Motion Practice 2 - MS
Circular Motion Practice 2 - MS
Solution Answer
1. As T 2 is more vertical, it is supporting more of the weight of the ball. The horizontal C
components of T 1 and T 2 are equal.
2. Normal force is perpendicular to the incline, friction acts up, parallel to the incline (opposite the E
motion of the block), gravity acts straight down.
3. ΣF = ma; mgsinθ – f = ma C
4. The “diluted” force between objects is the applied force times the ratio of the mass behind the E
rope to the total mass being pulled. This can be derived from a = F/m total and F T = m behind the
rope a
5. ΣF = ma; mg – bv = ma B
6. F f = µF N where F N is found from ΣF y = 0 = (F N – mg – Tsinθ) A
7. ΣF y = 0 = Fsinθ + F N – W B
8. The bottom of the rope supports the box, while the top of the rope must support the rope itself E
and the box.
9. The vertical components of the tension in the rope are two equal upward components of Tcosθ, D
which support the weight. ΣF y = 0 = 2Tcosθ – W
