Three crates with various contents are pulled by a force F pull = 3615 N across a horizontal, frictionless roller‑conveyor syste

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

m1=914.9kg

m2=604.9kg

m3=864.75kg

Explanation

I think we are suppose to find the mass of the crate.

The effective force that moves the body in positive x direction is 3615N

ΣFx = Σma

Then Fx=3615N

Then the masses be m1, m2 and m3

Then,

ΣF = Σ(ma)

3615=(m1+m2+m3)a

Given that a=1.516

The masses are

m1+m2+m3=, 2384.56. Equation 1

Between mass 1 and mass 2 is, F12=1387.

The effective force that pull mass 1 is 1387.

F12=m1 ×a

Therefore,

m1=F12/a

m1=1387/1.516

m1=914.9kg.

The effective force that pulls crate 1 and crate 2 is F23

F23=(m1+m2)a

Therefore

2304=(m1+m2)a

Therefore, since a=1.516

m1+m2=2304/1.516

m1+m2=1519.8kg

Since m1=914.9kg

So, m2=1519.8-m1

m2=1519.8-914.9

m2=604.9kg

Also from equation 1

m1+m2+m3=2384.56

Since m1=914.9kg and m2=604.9kg

Then, m3=2384.56-604.9-914.9

m3=864.75kg

A cylindrically shaped piece of collagen (a substance found in the body in connective tissue) is being stretched by a force that

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Part(a): The value of the spring constant is $3.11 \times 10^{2}~Kg~s^{-2}$ .

Part(b): The work done by the variable force that stretches the collagen is $1.5 \times 10^{-6}~J$ .

Explanation:

Part(a):

If ' $k$ ' be the force constant and if due the application of a force ' $F$ ' on the collagen ' $\Delta l$ ' be it's increase in length, then from Hook's law

$F = k~\Delta l....................................................................(I)$

Also, Young's modulus of a material is given by

$Y = \dfrac{F/A}{\Delta l/l}...............................................................(II)$

where ' $A$ ' is the area of the material and ' $l$ ' is the length.

Comparing equation ( $I$ ) and ( $II$ ) we can write

$&& Y = \dfrac{l~k}{A}\\&or,& k = \dfrac{Y~A}{l}\\&or,& k = \dfrac{Y~(\pi~r^{2})}{l}$

Here, we have to consider only the circular surface of the collagen as force is applied only perpendicular to this surface.

Substituting the given values in equation ( $III$ ), we have

$k = \dfrac{3.10 \times 10^{6}~N~m^{-2} \times \pi \times (0.00093)^{2}~m^{2}}{.027~m} = 3.11 \times 10^{2}~Kg~s^{-2}$

Part(b):

We know the amount of work done ( $W$ ) on the collagen is stored as a potential energy ( $U$ ) within it. Now, the amount of work done by the variable force that stretches the collagen can be written as
