Find the angle between forces of 41 pounds and 68 pounds given a magnitude of 87 pounds for the resultant force. (Hint: Write fo

rce one as a vector in the direction of the positive x-axis and force two as a vector at an angle θ with the positive x-axis.)

Answer:

$\theta = 76.9 degree$

Explanation:

As we know that the resultant of two vectors is given as

$R = \sqrt{F_1^2 + F_2^2 + 2F_1 F_2 cos\theta$

here we know that

$R = 87 Lb$

$F_1 = 41 Lb$

$F_2 = 68 Lb$

now we have

$87 = \sqrt{41^2 + 68^2 + 2(41)(68)cos\theta$

$87^2 = 6305 + 5576 cos\theta$

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{1264}{5576})$

$\theta = 76.9 degree$

A 4.87-kg ball of clay is thrown downward from a height of 3.21 m with a speed of 5.21 m/s onto a spring with k = 1570 N/m. The

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Approximately $0.560\; {\rm m}$ , assuming that:

the height of $3.21\; {\rm m}$ refers to the distance between the clay and the top of the uncompressed spring.
air resistance on the clay sphere is negligible,
the gravitational field strength is $g = 9.81\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-2}}$ , and
the clay sphere did not deform.

Explanation:

Notations:

Let $k$ denote the spring constant of the spring.
Let $m$ denote the mass of the clay sphere.
Let $v$ denote the initial speed of the spring.
Let $g$ denote the gravitational field strength.
Let $h$ denote the initial vertical distance between the clay and the top of the uncompressed spring.

Let $x$ denote the maximum compression of the spring- the only unknown quantity in this question.

After being compressed by a displacement of $x$ , the elastic potential energy $\text{PE}_{\text{spring}}$ in this spring would be:

$\displaystyle \text{PE}_{\text{spring}} = \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2}$ .

The initial kinetic energy $\text{KE}$ of the clay sphere was:

$\displaystyle \text{KE} = \frac{1}{2}\, m \, v^{2}$ .

When the spring is at the maximum compression:

The clay sphere would be right on top of the spring.
The top of the spring would be below the original position (when the spring was uncompressed) by $x$ .
The initial position of the clay sphere, however, is above the original position of the top of the spring by $h = 3.21\; {\rm m}$ .

Thus, the initial position of the clay sphere ( $h = 3.21\; {\rm m}$ above the top of the uncompressed spring) would be above the max-compression position of the clay sphere by $(h + x)$ .

The gravitational potential energy involved would be:

$\text{GPE} = m\, g\, (h + x)$ .

No mechanical energy would be lost under the assumptions listed above. Thus:

$\text{PE}_\text{spring} = \text{KE} + \text{GPE}$ .

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\, m\, v^{2} + m\, g\, (h + x)$ .

Rearrange this equation to obtain a quadratic equation about the only unknown, $x$ :

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, k\, x^{2} - m\, g\, x - \left[\left(\frac{1}{2}\, m\, v^{2}\right)+ (m\, g\, h)\right] = 0$ .

Substitute in $k = 1570\; {\rm N \cdot m^{-1}}$ , $m = 4.87\; {\rm kg}$ , $v = 5.21\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ , $g = 9.81\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-2}}$ , and $h = 3.21\; {\rm m}$ . Let the unit of $x$ be meters.

$785\, x^{2} - 47.775\, x - 219.453 \approx 0$ (Rounded. The unit of both sides of this equation is joules.)

Solve using the quadratic formula given that $x \ge 0$ :

$\begin{aligned}x &\approx \frac{-(-47.775) + \sqrt{(-47.775)^{2} - 4 \times 785 \times (-219.453)}}{2 \times 785} \\ &\approx 0.560\; {\rm m}\end{aligned}$ .

(The other root is negative and is thus invalid.)

Hence, the maximum compression of this spring would be approximately $0.560\; {\rm m}$ .
