A mass of M-kg rests on a frictionless ramp inclined at 30°. A string with a linear mass density of μ=0.025" kg/m" is attached t

o the M-kg mass. The string passes over a frictionless pulley of negligible mass and is attached to a hanging mass (m). The system is in static equilibrium. A wave is induced on the string and travels up the ramp.
(a) Show that the mass of M is equal to twice the mass of the hanging mass: M = 2m.
(b) and at what wave speed does the wave travel up the string, if m = 5 kg?

Answer:

44.3 m/s

Explanation:

a) Draw a free body diagram of the mass M.  There are three forces:

Weight force mg pulling down,

Normal force N pushing perpendicular to the ramp,

and tension force T pulling parallel up the ramp.

Sum of forces in the parallel direction:

∑F = ma

T − Mg sin 30° = 0

T = Mg sin 30°

T = Mg / 2

Draw a free body diagram of the hanging mass m.  There are two forces:

Weight force mg pulling down,

and tension force T pulling up.

Sum of forces in the vertical direction:

∑F = ma

T − mg = 0

T = mg

Substitute:

mg = Mg / 2

m = M / 2

M = 2m

b) Velocity of a standing wave in a string is:

v = √(T / μ)

T = mg, and m = 5 kg, so T = (5 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 49 N.  Therefore:

v = √(49 N / 0.025 kg/m)

v = 44.3 m/s

Answer:

t=1.9 sec

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Height h=28m

Time t=3s

Generally the Newton's equation for Initial velocity upward is mathematically given by

 s=ut+\frtac{1}{2}at^2

 28=3u-\frac{1}{2}*9.8*3^2

 u=24.03m/s

Generally the velocity at  elevation and depression occurs  as ball arrives and passes through S=28

 v=\sqrt{24.03-2*9.8*28}

 v=5.35m/s and -5.35m/s

Generally the Newton's equation for time to reach initial velocity  is mathematically given by

 v=u+at

 5.35=24.03-9.8t

 t=\frac{28.03-5.35}{9.8}

 t=1.9 sec

You hold your physics textbook in your hand. (Assume that no other objects are in contact with the book.)
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

1) the correct answer is b and d

2) For force b its direction is vertical up

   for the force d its direction is vertical down

3) the correct answers are: a, c and d

4) Force a is vertical down , force c is vertical up and force d is vertical down

5) the correct answer which is b

Explanation:

In this exercise it is asked to identify the forces, fundamentally on the free there are the forces of gravity and the support force of the hand, with these facts we answer the questions

1) the correct answer is b and d

the hand acts on the book with a contact force and the Earth acts on the book with the force of gravity.

2) For force b its direction is vertical up

   for the force d its direction is vertical down

3) The forces on the hand are the weight of the book. The force of gravity due to the mass of the hand. As the hand is in balance, there must be a force applied by the arm to keep the hand in position; assuming the hand is in the air, if the hand is resting on the floor the force of the floor on the hand can perform this function

therefore the correct answers are: a, c and d

4) Force a is vertical down

    force c is vertical up

   force d is vertical down

5) The action and reaction forces are forces of equal magnitude, each applied to one of the bodies, we have

* the force of the hand on the free and its reaction the force of the book on the hand

* The force of the Earth on the book and the hand, giving the weight of each one and the relationship is the force of the book and the hand on the Earth

the correct answer which is b
