The uniform dresser has a weight of 91 lb and rests on a tile floor for which μs = 0.25. If the man pushes on it in the horizont

al direction θ = 0∘, determine the smallest magnitude of force F needed to move the dresser. Also, if the man has a weight of 151 lb , determine the smallest coefficient of static friction between his shoes and the floor so that he does not slip.

Answer:

F = 22.75 lb

μ₁ = 0.15

Explanation:

The smallest force required to move the dresser must be equal to the force of friction between the man and the dresser. Therefore,

F = μR

F = μW

where,

F = Smallest force needed to move dresser = ?

μ = coefficient of static friction = 0.25

W = Weight of dresser = 91 lb

Therefore,

F = (0.25)(91 lb)

<u>F = 22.75 lb</u>

<u></u>

Now, for the coefficient of static friction between shoes and floor, we use the same formula but with the mas of the man:

F = μ₁W₁

where,

μ₁ = coefficient of static friction between shoes and floor

W₁ = Weight of man = 151 lb

Therefore,

22.75 lb = μ₁ (151 lb)

μ₁ = 22.75 lb/151 lb

<u>μ₁ = 0.15</u>

A 120 g, 8.0-cm-diameter gyroscope is spun at 1000 rpm and allowed to precess. What is the precession period?
dolphi86 [110]

To solve this problem we will derive the expression of the precession period from the moment of inertia of the given object. We will convert the units that are not in SI, and finally we will find the precession period with the variables found. Let's start defining the moment of inertia.

I = MR^2

Here,

M = Mass

R = Radius of the hoop

The precession frequency is given as

\Omega = \frac{Mgd}{I\omega}

Here,

M = Mass

g= Acceleration due to gravity

d = Distance of center of mass from pivot

I = Moment of inertia

\omega= Angular velocity

Replacing the value for moment of inertia

\Omega= \frac{MgR}{MR^2 \omega}

\Omega = \frac{g}{R\omega}

The value for our angular velocity is not in SI, then

\omega = 1000rpm (\frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev})(\frac{1min}{60s})

\omega = 104.7rad/s

Replacing our values we have that

\Omega = \frac{9.8m/s^2}{(8*10^{-2}m)(104.7rad)}

\Omega = 1.17rad/s

The precession frequency is

\Omega = \frac{2\pi rad}{T}

T = \frac{2\pi rad}{\Omega}

T = \frac{2\pi}{1.17}

T = 5.4 s

Therefore the precession period is 5.4s

torisob [31]
This situation has a basis such that the solid sphere and the hoop has the same mass. The analysis could be made<span> backwards . The ball will decelerate fastest, so not roll as high. The sphere will accelerate faster, but this also means it decelerates faster on the way up. Hence the answer is the hoop if the masses are equal </span>

A simple pendulum of length of 1.37 m and mass of 6.66 kg is given an initial speed of 2.85 m/s at its equilibrium position. Det
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

2.35 s

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is expressed as;

                                T = 2π\sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }

Where

T is the period in seconds

L is the length in metres

g is acceleration due to gravity

                                 T = 2π\sqrt{\frac{1.37}{9.8}}

                                 T = 2.349 s

                                 T = 2.35 s
