Question

Determine the magnitude of the average friction force exerted on the collar when the velocity of the collar at c is 3.39 m/s and the spring has an unstretched length of 0.60 m .

Answer 1

The magnitude of the average friction force exerted on the collar (F)=  8.641 N

How can we calculate the magnitude of the average friction force exerted on the collar?

To calculate the magnitude of the average friction force exerted on the collar we are using the formula,

$\frac{1}{2} k(x^2_f - x^2_i ) + F\times y + \frac{1}{2} m v^{2} _{c} = mgy$

Here we are given,

k = The spring has a spring constant.

= 25.5 N/m.

$x_f$ = Final length of the spring .

= $\sqrt{1.25^2+1.8^2} -0.60$

= 1.591 m

$x_i$= The initial length of the spring.

= 1.25−0.60

=0.65 m

y=The collar then travels downward a distance.

=  1.80 m.

m= The mass of the collar.

=3.55 kg

$v_c$ = the velocity of the collar.

= 3.39 m/s.

g = The acceleration due to gravity.

= 9.81 m/s²

We have to calculate the magnitude of the average friction force exerted on the collar = F

Now we put the known values in the above equation, we get;

$\frac{1}{2} k(x^2_f - x^2_i ) + F\times y + \frac{1}{2} m v^{2} _{c} = mgy$

Or, $\frac{1}{2} \times 25.5 \times((1.591)^2 - (0.65)^2 ) + F\times 1.80 + \frac{1}{2}\times 3.55\times (3.39)^{2} = 3.55\times 9.81\times 1.80$

Or, F= 8.641 N

From the above calculation we can conclude that,

The magnitude of the average friction force exerted on the collar (F)=  8.641 N
