A slender rod AB, of weight W, is attached to blocks A and B, which move freely in the guides shown. The blocks are connected by

an elastic cord that passes over a pulley at C. (a) Express the tension in the cord in terms of W and theta. (b) Determine the value of theta for which the tension in the cord is equal to 3W.

Answer:

(a) T = W/2(1-tanθ)  (b) 39.81°

Explanation:

(a) The equation for tension (T) can be derived by considering the summation of moment in the clockwise direction. Thus:

Summation of moment in clockwise direction is equivalent to zero. Therefore,

T*l*(sinθ) + W*(l/2)*cosθ - T*l*cosθ = 0

T*l*(cosθ - sinθ) = W*(l/2)*cosθ

T = W*cosθ/2(cosθ - sinθ)

Dividing both the numerator and denominator by cosθ, we have:

T = [W*cosθ/cosθ]/2[(cosθ - sinθ)/cosθ] = W/2(1-tanθ)

(b) If T = 3W, then:

3W = W/2(1-tanθ),

Further simplification and rearrangement lead to:

1 - tanθ = 1/6

tanθ = 1 - (1/6) = 5/6

θ = tan^(-1) 5/6 = 39.81°

A car accelerates from rest with an acceleration of 5 m/s^2. The acceleration decreases linearly with time to zero in 15 s, afte
Tpy6a [65]

Answer: At time 18.33 seconds it will have moved 500 meters.

Explanation:

Since the acceleration of the car is a linear function of time it can be written as a function of time as

a(t)=5(1-\frac{t}{15})

a=\frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}}\\\\\therefore \frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}}=5(1-\frac{t}{15})

Integrating both sides we get

\int \frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}}dt=\int 5(1-\frac{t}{15})dt\\\\\frac{dx}{dt}=v=5t-\frac{5t^{2}}{30}+c

Now since car starts from rest thus at time t = 0 ; v=0 thus c=0

again integrating with respect to time we get

\int \frac{dx}{dt}dt=\int (5t-\frac{5t^{2}}{30})dt\\\\x(t)=\frac{5t^{2}}{2}-\frac{5t^{3}}{90}+D

Now let us assume that car starts from origin thus D=0

thus in the first 15 seconds it covers a distance of

x(15)=2.5\times 15^{2}-\farc{15^{3}}{18}=375m

Thus the remaining 125 meters will be covered with a constant speed of

v(15)=5\times 15-\frac{15^{2}}{6}=37.5m/s

in time equalling t_{2}=\frac{125}{37.5}=3.33seconds

Thus the total time it requires equals 15+3.33 seconds

t=18.33 seconds
