A 60 kg adult and a 30kg child are passengers on a rotor ride at an amusement park as shown in the diagram above. When the rotat

ing hollow cylinder reaches a certain constant speed, v, the floor moves downward. Both passengers stay "pinned" against the wall of the rotor, as shown in the diagram below.
The magnitude of the frictional force between the adult and the wall of the spinning rotor is F. What is the magnitude of the frictional force between the child and the wall of the spinning rotor?

Answer:

 fr ’= ½ F

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the translational equilibrium equation, on the axis parallel to the wall

              fr - W = 0

              fr = W

for the adult man they indicate that the friction force is equal to F

              F = M g

we write the equilibrium equation for the child

             fr ’= w’

             fr ’= m g

in the statement they tell us that the mass of the adult is 2 times the mass of the child

             M = 2m

we substitute

            fr ’= M / 2 g

            fr ’= ½ Mg

we substitute

            fr ’= ½ F

therefore the force of friction in the child is half of the friction in the adult

One end of a 34-m unstretchable rope is tied to a tree; the other end is tied to a car stuck in the mud. The motorist pulls side
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Fc = 89.67N

Explanation:

Since the rope is unstretchable, the total length will always be 34m.

From the attached diagram, you can see that we can calculate the new separation distance from the tree and the stucked car H as follows:

L1+L2=34m

L1^2=L2^2=L^2=2^2+(H/2)^2  Replacing this value in the previous equation:

\sqrt{2^2+H^2/4}+ \sqrt{2^2+H^2/4}=34  Solving for H:

H=\sqrt{52}

We can now, calculate the angle between L1 and the 2m segment:

\alpha = atan(\frac{H/2}{2})=60.98°

If we make a sum of forces in the midpoint of the rope we get:

-2*T*cos(\alpha ) + F = 0  where T is the tension on the rope and F is the exerted force of 87N.

Solving for T, we get the tension on the rope which is equal to the force exerted on the car:

T=Fc=\frac{F}{2*cos(\alpha) } = 89.67N

A violin string is 45.0 cm long and has a mass of 0.242 g. When tightened on the neck of the violin, the distance between the pi
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The tension is 75.22 Newtons

Explanation:

The velocity of a wave on a rope is:

v=\sqrt{\frac{TL}{M}} (1)

With T the tension, L the length of the string and M its mass.

Another more general expression for the velocity of a wave is the product of the wavelength (λ) and the frequency (f) of the wave:

v= \lambda f (2)

We can equate expression (1) and (2):

\sqrt{\frac{TL}{M}}=\lambda f

Solving for T

T= \frac{M(\lambda f)^2}{L} (3)

For this expression we already know M, f, and L. And indirectly we already know λ too. On a string fixed at its extremes we have standing waves ant the equation of the wavelength in function the number of the harmonic N_{harmonic} is:

\lambda_{harmonic}=\frac{2l}{N_{harmonic}}

It's is important to note that in our case L the length of the string is different from l the distance between the pin and fret to produce a Concert A, so for the first harmonic:

\lambda_{1}=\frac{2(0.425m)}{1}=0.85 m

We can now find T on (3) using all the values we have:

T= \frac{2.42\times10^{-3}(0.85* 440)^2}{0.45}

T=75.22 N
