The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

Boxes A and B in the figure have masses of 13.4 kg. and 4.8 kg. , respectively. The two boxes are released from rest. What would be the speed of the boxes when box b has fallen a distance of 0.50 m? The coefficient of kinetic friction between box a and the surface it slides on is 0.20. Use conservation of energy.

Explanation:

Let us assume that box B is falling down, so equation of force for box B is as follows.

         m_{B}g - T = m_{B}a

             T = m_{B}g - m_{B}a .......... (1)

Now, force of equation for box A is as follows.

         T - f_{k, A} = m_{A}a

            T - \mu_{k}m_{A}g = ma

            T = \mu_{k}m_{A}g + m_{A}a ........... (2)

We will equate both equation (1) and (2) as follows.

       m_{B}g - m_{B}a = \mu_{k}m_{A}g + m_{A}a

   m_{B}g - m_{B}a = \mu_{k}m_{A}g + m_{A}a

    m_{B}g - \mu_{k}m_{A}g = a(m_{A} + m_{B})

      a = \frac{4.8 kg - (0.20)(13.4 kg)}{13.4 kg + 4.8 kg} \times 9.8 m/s^{2}

         = 1.1415 m/s^{2}

Now, we will calculate the velocity of the box after falling through a distance of 0.50 m as follows.

          v_{B} = \sqrt{2aS}

                    = \sqrt{(2 \times 1.1415 \times 0.50)}

                    = 1.07 m/s

Thus, we can conclude that speed of the given boxes is 1.07 m/s.

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts given in the balance of forces for the tangential force and the centripetal force. An easy way to detail this problem is through a free body diagram that describes the behavior of the body and the forces to which it is subject.

PART A) Normal Force.

F_n = \frac{mv^2}{r}

N+mgcos\theta = \frac{mv^2}{r}

Here,

Normal reaction of the ring is N and velocity of the ring is v

N+mgcos\theta = \frac{mv^2}{r}

N+Wcos\theta = \frac{W}{g} (\frac{v^2}{r})

N+2cos30\° = \frac{2}{32.2}*\frac{10^2}{2}

N = 1.374lb

PART B) Acceleration

F_t = ma_t

-mgsin\theta = ma_t

-W sin\theta = \frac{W}{g} a_t

-2Sin30\° = (\frac{2}{32.2})a_t

a_T = -16.10ft/s^2

Negative symbol indicates deceleration.

<em>NOTE: For the problem, the graph in which the turning radius and the angle of suspension was specified was not supplied. A graphic that matches the description given by the problem is attached.</em>

A 1 800-kg pile driver is used to drive a steel I-beam into the ground. The pile driver falls 4.60 m before coming into contact
N76 [4]

Answer:

F = 614913.88 N

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of pile driver; m = 1800 kg

Height of fall of pole driver; h = 4.6 m

Depth driven into beam; d = 13.6 cm = 0.136 m

Now, from energy equations and applying to this question, we can write that;

Workdone = Change in potential energy

Formula for workdone is; W = F × d

While the average potential energy here is; W = mg(h + d)

Thus;

Fd = mg(h + d)

Where F is the average force exerted by the beam on the pile driver while in bringing it to rest.

Making F the subject, we have;

F = mg(h + d)/d

F = 1800 × 9.81 × (4.6 + 0.136)/0.136

F = 614913.88 N
