A spiral staircase winds up to the top of a tower in an old castle. To measure the height of the tower, a rope is attached to th

e top of the tower and hung down the center of the staircase. However, nothing is available with which to measure the length of the rope. Therefore, at the bottom of the rope a small object is attached so as to form a simple pendulum that just clears the floor. The period of the pendulum is measured to be 5.94 s. What is the height of the tower?

Answer:

8.76762 m

Explanation:

T = Time period = 5.94 seconds

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

L = Length of pendulum = Height of tower

Time period is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}\\\Rightarrow T^2=4\pi^2\dfrac{L}{g}\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{T^2g}{4\pi^2}\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{5.94^2\times 9.81}{4\pi^2}\\\Rightarrow L=8.76762\ m

The height of the tower is 8.76762 m

A 51.0 kg crate, starting from rest, is pulled across a floor with a constant horizontal force of 225 N. For the first 10.0 m th
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

The final speed of the crate is 12.07 m/s.

Explanation:

For the first 10.0 meters, the only force acting on the crate is 225 N, so we can calculate the acceleration as follows:

F = ma

a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{225 N}{51.0 kg} = 4.41 m/s^{2}

Now, we can calculate the final speed of the crate at the end of 10.0 m:

v_{f}^{2} = v_{0}^{2} + 2ad_{1}                  

v_{f} = \sqrt{0 + 2*4.41 m/s^{2}*10.0 m} = 9.39 m/s    

For the next 10.5 meters we have frictional force:

F - F_{\mu} = ma

F - \mu mg = ma

So, the acceleration is:

a = \frac{F - \mu mg}{m} = \frac{225 N - 0.17*51.0 kg*9.81 m/s^{2}}{51.0 kg} = 2.74 m/s^{2}

The final speed of the crate at the end of 10.0 m will be the initial speed of the following 10.5 meters, so:

v_{f}^{2} = v_{0}^{2} + 2ad_{2}  

v_{f} = \sqrt{(9.39 m/s)^{2} + 2*2.74 m/s^{2}*10.5 m} = 12.07 m/s  

Therefore, the final speed of the crate after being pulled these 20.5 meters is 12.07 m/s.  

I hope it helps you!
