What is the maximum value the string tension can have before the can slips? The coefficient of static friction between the can a
nd the ground is 0.76.
1 answer:
Answer:
T= 38.38 N
Explanation:
Here
mass of can = m = 3 kg
g= 9.8 m/sec2
angle θ = 40°
From figure we see the vertical and horizontal component of tension force T
If the can is to slip - then horizontal component of tension force should become equal to force of friction.
First we find force of friction
Fs= μ R
where
μ = 0.76
R = weight of can = mg = 3 × 9.8 = 29.4 N
Now horizontal component of tension
Tx= T cos 40 = T× 0.7660 N
==>T× 0.7660 = 29.4
==> T= 38.38 N

Answer:
The mass of the beam is 0.074 kg
Explanation:
Given;
length of the uniform bar, = 1m = 100 cm
Set up this system with the given mass and support;
0-----------------33cm-----------------------------------100cm
↓ Δ ↓
0.15kg m
Where;
m is mass of the uniform bar
Apply the principle of moment to determine the value of "m"
sum of anticlockwise moment = sum of clockwise moment
0.15kg(33 - 0) = m(100 - 33)
0.15(33) = m(67)
Therefore, the mass of the beam is 0.074 kg
