A 50.0-kg box is being pulled along a horizontal surface by means of a rope that exerts a force of 250 n at an angle of 32.0° ab

ove the horizontal. the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the surface is 0.350. what is the acceleration of the box?

According to Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the box is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:
\sum F = ma (1)

we are only concerned about the horizontal direction, so there are only two forces acting on the box in this direction:
- the horizontal component of the force exerted by the rope, which is equal to
F_x = F cos \theta = (250N)(\cos 32.0^{\circ} )=212.0 N
- the frictional force, acting in the opposite direction, which is equal to
F_f = \mu mg=(0.350)(50.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=171.7 N

By applying Newton's law (1), we can calculate the acceleration of the box:
F_x - F_f = ma
a= \frac{F_x - F_f}{m}= \frac{212.0 N-171.7 N}{50.0 kg} =0.81 m/s^2

A block of weight mg sits on an inclined plane as shown in (Figure 1) . A force of magnitude F1 is applied to pull the block up
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

W = (F1 - mg sin θ) L,   W = -μ  mg cos θ L

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second law to find the friction force. In these problems the x axis is taken parallel to the plane and the y axis perpendicular to the plane

Y Axis  

       N - W_{y} =

       N = W_{y}

X axis

       F1 - fr - Wₓ = 0

       fr = F1 - Wₓ

Let's use trigonometry to find the components of the weight

     sin θ = Wₓ / W

     cos θ = W_{y} / W

      Wₓ = W sin θ

      W_{y} = W cos θ

We substitute

      fr = F1 - W sin θ

Work is defined by

        W = F .dx

        W = F dx cos θ

The friction force is parallel to the plane in the negative direction and the displacement is positive along the plane, so the Angle is 180º and the cos θ= -1

         

        W = -fr x

        W = (F1 - mg sin θ) L

Another way to calculate is

         fr = μ N

         fr = μ W cos θ

the work is

         W = -μ  mg cos θ L

Underground water is being pumped into a pool whose cross section is 3 m x 4 m while water is discharged through a 0.076m-diamet
Svetllana [295]
Given:

Area of pool = 3m×4m
Diameter of orifice = 0.076m
Outlet Velocity = 6.3m/s
Accumulation velocity = 1.5cm/min

Required:

Inlet flowrate

Solution:

The problem can be solved by this general formula.

Accumulation = Inlet flowrate - Outlet flowrate
Accumulation velocity × Area of pool = Inlet flowrate - Outlet velocity × Area of orifice

First, we need to convert the units of the accumulation velocity into m/s to be consistent.

Accumulation velocity = 1.5cm/min × (1min/60s)×(1m/100cm)
Accumulation velocity = 0.00025 m/s

We then calculate the area of the pool and the area of the orifice by:

Area of pool = 3 × 4 m²
Area of pool = 12m²

Area of orifice = πd²/4 = π(0.076m)²/4
Area of orifice = 0.00454m²

Since we have all we need, we plug in the values to the general equation earlier

Accumulation velocity × Area of pool = Inlet flowrate - Outlet velocity × Area of orifice

0.00025 m/s × 12m² = Inlet flowrate - 6.3m/s × 0.00454m²

Transposing terms,

Inlet flowrate = 0.316 m³/s
