In a room that is 2.41 m high, a spring (unstrained length = 0.30 m) hangs from the ceiling. A board whose length is 1.86 m is a

ttached to the free end of the spring. The board hangs straight down, so that its 1.86-m length is perpendicular to the floor. The weight of the board (104 N) stretches the spring so that the lower end of the board just extends to, but does not touch, the floor. What is the spring constant of the spring?

Answer:

416 N\m

Explanation:

Weight of board

W=ma\\\Rightarrow W=104\ N

Length the spring can stretch = Total height of room - (unstrained length of spring + Length of Board)

2.41-(0.3+1.86)\\\Rightarrow 2.41-2.16=0.25\ m

From Hooke's law

W=kx\\\Rightarrow k=\frac{W}{x}\\\Rightarrow k=\frac{104}{0.25}\\\Rightarrow k=416\ N\m

The spring constant is 416 N/m

A circular disc of mass 20kg and radius 15cm is mounted in an horizontal cylindrical axle of radius
disa [49]

Using the concepts of energy, rotational Newton's second law and rotational kinematics we can find the kinematic energy of the system formed by the disk and the cylindrical axis

          KE = 0.23 J

given parameters

  • Disk radius R = 15 cm = 0.15 m
  • Cylinder radius r = 1.5 cm = 0.0015 m
  • Disk mass M = 20 kg
  • Time t = 1.2 s
  • Force F = 12 N

to find

  • Kinetic energy (KE)

This exercise must be solved in parts:

1st part. Endowment kinetic energy is the energy due to the circular motion of an object and is described by the equation

         KE = ½ I w²

Where KE is the kinetic energy, I the moment of inertia and w the angular velocity

The moment of inertia is a magnitude that measures the inertia for rotational movement, it is a scalar quantity, therefore it is additive. In this system it is composed of two bodies, the disk and the cylindrical axis, for which the total moment of inertia it is

         I_{ total} = I_{ disk} + I_{ cylinder}

the moments of inertia with respect to an axis passing through the center of mass are tabulated

disk          I_{disk} = ½ M R²

cylinder   I_{cylinder} = ½ m r²

where M and m are the masses of the disk and cylinder respectively, R and r their radii

         I_{total} = ½ (M R² + m r²) = ½ M R² ( 1 + \frac{m}{M} \ (\frac{r}{R})^2 )

         I_{total} = ½ M R² ( 1+ \frac{m}{20}  (\frac{0.015}{0.15} )^2 ) = \frac{1}{2} M R² (1 + 0.005 m)

As the shaft mass  is much lighter than the disk mass , the last term is very small, which is why we despise it.

         I_{total} = ½ M R²

2nd part. Let's use Newton's second law for endowment motion

        τ = I α

        α = \frac{\tau }{I_{total}}l

        τ = F R

        α = \frac{F \ R}{I_{total}}

With the rotational kinematics expressions, we assume that the system starts from rest (w₀ = 0)

        w = w₀ + α  t

where w is the angular velocity, alpha is the angular acceleration and t is the time

        w = 0 + \frac{\tau }{I_{total}} \ t

we substitute in the kinetic energy equation

        KE = ½ I_{total}  ( \frac{ \tau }{I_{total}} \ t )²

        KE = ½ \frac{ \tau^2 }{I_{total}} \ t^2

let's substitute

        KE = \frac{F^2 \ R^4}{M \ R^2 } \ t^2

        KE = F² R² t² / M

let's calculate

        KE = 12² 0.15² 1.2² / 20

        KE = 0.23 J

With the concepts of energy and rotational kinematics we can find the kinetic energy of the system is

       KE = 0.23 j

Explain why pulleys are in the lever family.
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The leverage or mechanical advantage of pulleys is less obvious, but you can "gang" multiple pulleys together into two sets (blocks) and run the ropes back and forth between the two sets to increase the number of lengths of rope running between them. One end of the rope is connected (fixed) to one of the blocks, and you get to pull on the other end after it is passed back and forth between the blocks of pulleys. This is sometimes called a block and tackle arrangement. With a hook on each side of the block set, you can move a heavy load much like levers do, by multiplying the force. You have to pull more rope just like you have to move a lever more on one side of the fulcrum as compared to the other. When you get all the rope pulled out that you can, you can not move the load anymore because you have become "two-blocked" which means the two blocks are together. Credits to: Moin Khan
