A long ramp made of cast iron is sloped at a constant angle θ = 52.0∘ above the horizontal. Small blocks, each with mass 0.42 kg

but made of different materials, are released from rest at a vertical height h above the bottom of the ramp. In each case the coefficient of static friction is small enough that the blocks start to slide down the ramp as soon as they are released. You are asked to find h so that each block will have a speed of 4.00 m/s when it reaches the bottom of the ramp. You are given these coefficients of sliding (kinetic) friction for different pairs of materials.

Answer:

For cast iron we have

h = 0.92 m

For copper

h = 1.05 m

For Lead

h = 1.23 m

For Zinc

h = 2.43 m

Explanation:

As we know that final speed of the block is calculated by work energy theorem

W_f + W_g = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

-\mu_k mg cos\theta(\frac{h}{sin\theta}) + mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

v^2 = 2gh - 2\mu_k g h cot\theta

v = \sqrt{2gh(1 - \mu_k cot\theta)}

For cast iron we have

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.15cot52)}

h = 0.92 m

For copper

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.29cot52)}

h = 1.05 m

For Lead

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.43cot52)}

h = 1.23 m

For Zinc

4 = \sqrt{2(9.81)(h)(1 - 0.85cot52)}

h = 2.43 m

A horizontal clothesline is tied between 2 poles, 12 meters apart. When a mass of 4 kilograms is tied to the middle of the cloth
Olegator [25]

Answer:

T=26.03 N

Explanation:

Given that

Distance between poles = 12 m

Mass of block m= 4 kg

Sag distance = 5 m

Lets take tension in the clothesline is T.

The component of tension in vertical direction will be T cosθ.

By force balancing

2 T cosθ = 40

here tan\theta =\dfrac{5}{6}

θ=39.80°

2 T cos39.8 = 40

T=26.03 N
