Answer:
a. 15.4 seconds
b. 0.455 m/s
Explanation:
a. The carousel rotates at 0.13 rev/s.
This means that it takes the carousel 1 sec to make 0.13 of an entire revolution.
This means that time it will take to make a complete revolution is:
1 / 0.13 = 7.7 seconds
Therefore, the time it will take to make 2 revolutions is:
2 * 7.7 = 15.4 seconds
b. Let us calculate the linear velocity. Angular velocity is given as:
where v = linear velocity and r = radius
The radius of the circle is 3.5 m and the angular velocity is 0.13 rev/s, therefore:
0.13 = v / 3.5
v = 3.5 * 0.13 = 0.455 m/s
Linear velocity is 0.455 m/s
Given that force is applied at an angle of 30 degree below the horizontal
So let say force applied if F
now its two components are given as
Now the normal force on the block is given as
now the friction force on the cart is given as
now if cart moves with constant speed then net force on cart must be zero
so now we have
so the force must be 199.2 N
