A block-and-tackle pulley hoist is suspended in a warehouse by ropes of lengths 2 m and 3 m. the hoist weighs 430 n. the ropes,
fastened at different heights, make angles of 50° and 38° with the horizontal. find the tension in each rope and the magnitude of each tension. (let t2 and t3, represent the tension vectors corresponding to the ropes of length 2 m and 3 m respectively. round all numerical values to two decimal places.)
1 answer:
Refer to the diagram shown below.
For horizontal equilibrium,
T₃ cos38 = T₂ cos 50
0.788 T₃ = 0.6428 T₂
T₃ = 0.8157 T₂ (1)
For vertical equilibrium,
T₂ sin 50 + T₃ sin 38 = 430
0.766 T₂ + 0.6157 T₃ = 430
1.2441 T₂ + T₃ = 698.392 (2)
Substitute (1) into (2).
(1.2441 + 0.8157) T₂ = 698.392
T₂ = 339.058 N
T₃ = 0.8157(399.058) = 276.571 N
Answer:
T₂ = 339.06 N
T₃ = 276.57 N

Answer:
T₂ = 339.06 N
T₃ = 276.57 N

Answer:
Approximately . (Assuming that
, and that the tabletop is level.)
Explanation:
Weight of the book:
.
If the tabletop is level, the normal force on the book will be equal (in magnitude) to weight of the book. Hence, .
As a side note, the and
on this book are not equal- these two forces are equal in size but point in the opposite directions.
When the book is moving, the friction on it will be equal to
, the coefficient of kinetic friction, times
, the normal force that's acting on it.
That is:
.
Friction acts in the opposite direction of the object's motion. The friction here should act in the opposite direction of that applied force. The net force on the book shall be:
.
Apply Newton's Second Law to find the acceleration of this book:
.
