A truck with a heavy load has a total mass of 7100 kg. It is climbing a 15∘ incline at a steady 15 m/s when, unfortunately, the

poorly secured load falls off! Immediately after losing the load, the truck begins to accelerate at 1.5 m/s2. Part A What was the mass of the load? Ignore rolling friction.

Answer:

The load has a mass of 2636.8 kg

Explanation:

Step 1 : Data given

Mass of the truck = 7100 kg

Angle = 15°

velocity = 15m/s

Acceleration = 1.5 m/s²

Mass of truck = m1 kg

Mass of load = m2 kg

Thrust from engine = T

Step 2:

⇒ Before the load falls off, thrust (T) balances the component of total weight downhill:

T = (m1+m2)*g*sinθ

⇒ After the load falls off, thrust (T) remains the same but downhill component of weight becomes  m1*gsinθ .

Resultant force on truck is F = T – m1*gsinθ  

F causes the acceleration of the truck: F= m*a

This gives the equation:

T – m1*gsinθ = m1*a  

T = m1(a + gsinθ)

Combining both equations gives:

(m1+m2)*g*sinθ = m1*(a + gsinθ)

m1*g*sinθ + m2*g*sinθ =m1*a + m1*g*sinθ

m2*g*sinθ = m1*a

Since m1+m2 = 7100kg, m1= 7100 – m2. This we can plug into the previous equation:

m2*g*sinθ = (7100 – m2)*a

m2*g*sinθ = 7100a – m2a

m2*gsinθ + m2*a = 7100a

m2* (gsinθ + a) = 7100a

m2 = 7100a/(gsinθ  + a)

m2 = (7100 * 1.5) / (9.8sin(15°) + 1.5)

m2 = 2636.8 kg

The load has a mass of 2636.8 kg

State two factors that affect the spring constant of a spring made using a wire of a certain material and given thickness
MaRussiya [10]

The spring's rigidity is quantified by the spring constant. The spring constant increases as the wire's thickness increases. The spring constant lowers as the coil's diameter increases.

Material: Steel and copper are two materials that have differing constants when used to make identical springs.

Describe the spring constant ?

The restoring force applied to the spring for a given length of deflection is known as the spring constant. It is often referred to as the amount of force needed to extend or compress a spring one unit of length.

The level of resistance to spring deformation is expressed by the spring constant. In addition to being known as spring stiffness or spring rate, the spring constant and It is represented by the letter "K."

The following variables affect the coil spring's spring constant:-

a) Modulus of rigidity (G): As the modulus of rigidity of the spring material increases, so does the coil spring's spring constant.

b) Wire diameter (d): As the diameter of the spring wire grows, so does the spring constant.

c) Coil diameter (D): As the diameter of the spring coil increases, so does the spring's spring constant.

d) Number of coils (n): As the number of spring coils increases, the spring constant decreases.
