A worker exerts a pulling force on a box. The worker exerts this force by attaching a rope to the box and pulling on the rope so

that the rope makes a constant angle of 36.8° above the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0.10. It takes the worker 5.12 seconds to move the box 10 m from rest. A. What is the magnitude of the pulling force that the worker exerts on the box? Express your answer as a percentage of the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on the box. Indicate any assumptions that you made.

Answer:

<em>The magnitude of the pulling force is 20.66% of the gravitational force acting on the box</em>

Explanation:

<u>Accelerated Motion</u>

The net force exerted on a body is the (vector) sum of all forces applied to the body. The net force can be decomposed in its rectangular components and the dynamics of the body can be studied in each direction x,y separately.

Let's start off by calculating the acceleration the worker gives to the box when pulling it. The distance traveled by the box initially at rest in a time t at an acceleration a is given by

\displaystyle x=\frac{at^2}{2}

Solving for a

\displaystyle a=\frac{2x}{t^2}

\displaystyle a=\frac{2\cdot 10}{5.12^2}

a=0.763\ m/s^2

Now we analyze the geometric of the forces applied to the box. Please refer to the free body diagram provided below.

The forces in the y-axis must be in equilibrium since no movement takes place there, thus, being g the acceleration of gravity:

T_y+N=m.g

There Ty is the vertical component of the tension of the rope, N is the normal force, and m is the mass of the box

The decomposition of T gives us

T_y=Tsin\theta

T_x=Tcos\theta

Solving the above equation for N

Tsin\theta+N=m.g

N=m.g-Tsin\theta\text{..........[1]}

Now for the x-axis, there are two forces acting on the box, the x-component of the tension and the friction force Fr. Those forces are not equilibrated, thus acceleration is produced:

Tcos\theta-F_r=m.a

Recalling that

F_r=\mu N

Tcos\theta-\mu N=m.a

Replacing N from [1]

Tcos\theta-\mu (m.g-Tsin\theta)=m.a

Operating

Tcos\theta-\mu m.g+\mu Tsin\theta=m.a

Solving for T

T(cos\theta+\mu sin\theta)=m.a+\mu m.g

\displaystyle T=\frac{m.a+\mu m.g}{cos\theta+\mu sin\theta}

\displaystyle T=m\frac{a+\mu g}{cos\theta+\mu sin\theta}

We don't know the value of m, thus we'll plug in the rest of the data

\displaystyle T=m\frac{0.763+0.10\cdot 9.8}{cos36.8^o+0.10 sin36.8^o}

T=2.0252m

Dividing by the weight of the box m.g

T/(m.g)=2.0252/9.8=0.2066

Thus, the magnitude of the pulling force is 20.66% of the gravitational force acting on the box

The Millersburg Ferry (m = 13000.0 kg loaded) is travelling at 11 m/s when the engines are put in reverse. The engineproduces a
Pie

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Millersburg Ferry, m = 13000 kg

Velocity, v = 11 m/s

Applied force, F = 10⁶ N

Time period, t = 20 seconds

(a) Impulse is given by the product of force and time taken i.e.

J=F.\Delta t

J=10^6\ N\times 20\ s

J=2\times 10^7\ N-s

(b) Impulse is also given by the change in momentum i.e.

J=\Delta p=p_f-p_i

J=p_f-p_i

p_f=J+p_i

p_f=2\times 10^7\ N-s+13000\ kg\times 11\ m/s

p_f=20143000\ kg-m/s

(c) For new velocity,

v_f=\dfrac{p_f}{m}

v_f=\dfrac{20143000\ kg-m/s}{13000\ kg}

v_f=1549.46\ m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

The range of powers is    - 5 \ D \le P \le - 2.667\  D

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The far point of the left eye is n_f = 20 cm

       The near point of the left eye is  n =  15cm

       The near point with the glasses on is n_g =25 \ cm

     

From these parameter we can see that with the glass on that for near point the

         Object distance would be u = -25 \ cm

          Image distance would be  v =  -15 \ cm

To obtain the focal length we would apply the lens formula which is mathematically represented as

              \frac{1}{f} =  \frac{1}{v}  -  \frac{1}{u}

substituting values

              \frac{1}{f} =  \frac{1}{-15}  -  \frac{1}{-25}

               f =  - \frac{75}{2} cm

           converting to  meters

               f =  - \frac{75}{2} * \frac{1}{100}

               f =  - \frac{75}{200} \ m

   Generally the power of the lens is mathematically represented as

                P  = \frac{1}{f}

Substituting values

                 P = -  \frac{200}{75}  m

                 P = - 2.667 \ D

   

From these parameter we can see that with the glass on that for far  point the

         Object distance would be u_f = - \infty \ cm

          Image distance would be  v_f =  -20  \ cm

To obtain the focal length of the lens we would apply the lens formula which is mathematically represented as

                    \frac{1}{f_f} =  \frac{1}{v_f}  -  \frac{1}{u_f}

substituting values

                  \frac{1}{f} =  \frac{1}{-20}  -  \frac{1}{- \infty}

                 \frac{1}{f} =  \frac{1}{-20}  -  0      

                  f_f =  \frac{20}{1}  \ cm

converting to  meters

                f_f =  - \frac{20}{1}  * \frac{1}{100}

               

Generally the power of the lens is mathematically represented as

                P  = \frac{1}{f_f}

Substituting values

                 P = -  \frac{100}{20}  m

                 P = - 5 \ D

This implies that the range of powers of the lens in his glass is

                  - 5 \ D \le P \le - 2.667\  D
