The chain of length L and mass per unit length rho is released from rest on the smooth horizontal surface with a negligibly smal

l overhang x to initiate motion. Determine: (a) the acceleration of the chain as a function of x, (b) the tension T in the chain at the smooth corner as a function of x, (c) the velocity v of the last link A as it reaches the corner

Answer:

Part a)

a = \frac{x}{L} g

Part b)

T = \rho x g(1 - \frac{x}{L})

Part c)

v = \sqrt{gL}

Explanation:

Part a)

Net pulling force on the chain is due to weight of the part of the chain which is over hanging

So we know that mass of overhanging part of chain is given as

m = \rho x

now net pulling force on the chain is given as

F = \rho x g

now acceleration is given as

F = Ma

\rho x g = \rho L a

a = \frac{x}{L} g

Part b)

Tension force in the part of the chain is given as

mg - T = ma

\rho x g - T = \rho x a

\rho x(g - a) = T

\rho x (g - \frac{x}{L} g) = T

T = \rho x g(1 - \frac{x}{L})

Part c)

velocity of the last link of the chain is given as

a = \frac{x}{L} g

v\frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{x}{L} g

now integrate both sides

\int v dv = \frac{g}{L} \int x dx

\frac{v^2}{2} = \frac{gL}{2}

v = \sqrt{gL}

A uniformly charged solid disk of radius R = 0.45 m carries a uniform charge density of σ = 175 μC/m². A point P is located a di
siniylev [52]

Answer:

1408.685 KN/C

Explanation:

Given:

R = 0.45 m

σ = 175 μC/m²

P is located a distance a = 0.75 m

k = 8.99*10^9

  • The Electric Field Strength E of a uniformly solid disk of charge at distance a perpendicular to disk is given by:

                                  E = 2*pi*k*o * (1 - \frac{a}{\sqrt{a^2 + R^2} })\\

part a)

Electric Field strength at point P: a = 0.75 m

E = 2*pi*8.99*10^9*175*10^-6 * (1 - \frac{0.75}{\sqrt{0.75^2 + 0.45^2} })\\\\E = 9885021.285*(0.1425070743)\\\\E = 1408.685 KN/C

part b)

Since, R >> a, we can approximate a / R = 0 ,

Hence, E simplified relation becomes:

E = 2*pi*k*o * (1 - \frac{a/R}{\sqrt{a^2/R^2 + 1} })\\\\E = 2*pi*k*o * (1 - \frac{0}{\sqrt{0 + 1} })\\\\E = 2*pi*k*o

E = σ / 2*e_o

part c)

Since, a >> R, we can approximate. that the uniform disc of charge becomes a single point charge:

Electric Field strength due to point charge is:

E = k*δ*pi*R^2 / a^2  

Since, R << a, Surface area = δ*pi

Hence,

E = (k*δ*pi/a^2)
