Answer:

Fa=774 N

Fb=346 N

Explanation:

We will solve this problem by equating forces on each axis.

On x-axis let forces in positive x-direction be positive and forces in negative x-direction be negative
On y-axis let forces in positive y-direction be positive and forces in negative y-direction be negative

While towing we know that car is mot moving in y-direction so net force in y-axis must be zero

⇒∑Fy=0

⇒ $Fa*sin(50)-Fb*sin(20)=0$

⇒ $Fa*sin(50)=Fb*sin(20)$

⇒ $Fa=2.24Fb$

Given that resultant force on car is 950N in positive x-direction

⇒∑Fx=950

⇒ $Fa*cos(20)+Fb*cos(50)=950$

⇒ $2.24*Fb*cos(20)+Fb(50)=950$

⇒ $Fb*(2.24*cos(20)+cos(50))=950$

⇒ $Fb=\frac{950}{2.24*cos(20)+cos(50)}$

⇒ $Fb=\frac{950}{2.24*0.94+0.64}$

⇒ $Fb=\frac{950}{2.75}=345.5$

⇒ $Fa=2.24*Fb$

$=2.24*345.5$

$=773.93$

Therefore approximately, Fa=774 N and Fb=346 N

Harman [31]

Answer:

A) 1.55

B) 1.55

C) 12.92

D) 34.08

E) 57.82

Explanation:

The free body diagram attached, R is the radius of the wheel

Block B is lighter than block A so block A will move upward while A downward with the same acceleration. Since no snipping will occur, the wheel rotates in clockwise direction.

At the centre of the whee, torque due to B is given by

${\tau _2} = - {T_{\rm{B}}}R$

Similarly, torque due to A is given by

${\tau _1} = {T_{\rm{A}}}R$

The sum of torque at the pivot is given by

$\tau = {\tau _1} + {\tau _2}$

Replacing ${\tau _1}$ and ${\tau _2}$ by ${T_{\rm{A}}}R$ and $- {T_{\rm{B}}}R$ respectively yields

$\begin{array}{c}\\\tau = {T_{\rm{A}}}R - {T_{\rm{B}}}R\\\\ = \left( {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right)R\\\end{array}$

Substituting $I\alpha$ for $\tau$ in the equation $\tau = \left( {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right)R$

$I\alpha=\left( {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right)R$

$\frac{I\alpha}{R} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right$

The angular acceleration of the wheel is given by $\alpha = \frac{a}{R}$

where a is the linear acceleration

Substituting $\frac{a}{R}$ for $\alpha$ into equation

$\frac{I\alpha}{R} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right$ we obtain

$\frac{Ia}{R^2} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right$

Net force on block A is

${F_{\rm{A}}} = {m_{\rm{A}}}g - {T_{\rm{A}}}$

Net force on block B is

${F_{\rm{B}}} = {T_{\rm{B}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}g$

Where g is acceleration due to gravity

Substituting ${m_{\rm{B}}}a$ and ${m_{\rm{A}}}a$ for ${F_{\rm{B}}}$ and ${F_{\rm{A}}}$ respectively into equation $\frac{Ia}{R^2} =\left {{T_{\rm{A}}} - {T_{\rm{B}}}} \right$ and making a the subject we obtain

$\begin{array}{c}\\{m_{\rm{A}}}g - {m_{\rm{A}}}a - \left( {{m_{\rm{B}}}g + {m_{\rm{B}}}a} \right) = \frac{{Ia}}{{{R^2}}}\\\\\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g - \left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)a = \frac{{Ia}}{{{R^2}}}\\\\\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}} + \frac{I}{{{R^2}}}} \right)a = \left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g\\\\a = \frac{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g}}{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}} + \frac{I}{{{R^2}}}} \right)}}\\\end{array}$

Since ${m_{\rm{B}}}$ = 3kg and ${m_{\rm{B}}}$ = 7kg

g=9.81 and R=0.12m, I=0.22 ${\rm{ kg}} \cdot {{\rm{m}}^2}$

Substituting these we obtain

$a = \frac{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} - {m_{\rm{B}}}} \right)g}}{{\left( {{m_{\rm{A}}} + {m_{\rm{B}}} + \frac{I}{{{R^2}}}} \right)}}$

$\begin{array}{c}\\a = \frac{{\left( {7{\rm{ kg}} - 3{\rm{ kg}}} \right)\left( {9.81{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)}}{{\left( {7{\rm{ kg}} + 3{\rm{ kg}} + \frac{{0.22{\rm{ kg/}}{{\rm{m}}^2}}}{{{{\left( {0.120{\rm{ m}}} \right)}^2}}}} \right)}}\\\\ = 1.55235{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}\\\end{array}$

Therefore, the linear acceleration of block A is 1.55 ${\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}$

(B)

For block B

${a_{\rm{B}}} = {a_{\rm{A}}}$

Therefore, the acceleration of both blocks A and B are same

1.55 ${\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}$

(C)

The angular acceleration is $\alpha = \frac{a}{R}$

$\begin{array}{c}\\\alpha = \frac{{1.55{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}}}{{0.120{\rm{ m}}}}\\\\ = 12.92{\rm{ rad/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}\\\end{array}$

(D)

Tension on left side of cord is calculated using

$\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{B}}} = {m_{\rm{B}}}g + {m_{\rm{B}}}a\\\\ = {m_{\rm{B}}}\left( {g + a} \right)\\\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{B}}} = \left( {3{\rm{ kg}}} \right)\left( {9.81{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2} + 1.55{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)\\\\ = 34.08{\rm{ N}}\\\end{array}$

(E)

Tension on right side of cord is calculated using

$\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{A}}} = {m_{\rm{A}}}g - {m_{\rm{A}}}a\\\\ = {m_{\rm{A}}}\left( {g - a} \right)\\\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{c}\\{T_{\rm{A}}} = \left( {7{\rm{ kg}}} \right)\left( {9.81{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2} – 1.55{\rm{ m/}}{{\rm{s}}^2}} \right)\\\\ = 57.82{\rm{ N}}\\\end{array}$

Ratling [72]

Answer:

Electric force, $F=-3.59\times 10^6\ N$

Explanation:

Given that,

Electric charge 1, $q_1=+40\ C$

Electric charge 2, $q_2=-40\ C$

Distance, $d=2\ km=2\times 10^3\ m$

To find,

The electric force between these two sets of charges.

Solution,

There exists a force between two electric charges and this force is called electrostatic force. It is equal to the product of electric charged divided by square of distance between them.

$F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d^2}$

k is the electrostatic constant

$F=8.99\times 10^9\times \dfrac{40\times (-40)}{(2\times 10^3)^2}$

$F=-3.59\times 10^6\ N$

So, the electric force between these two sets of charges is $-3.59\times 10^6\ N$ .
