Answer:

a)  T = -22796.5 N,  b)  F = 3000 N

Explanation:

a) For this part we use Newton's second law

Let's set a reference frame with the x-axis in the direction of motion and the y-axis in the vertical direction.

We make a free-body diagram for each body,

the tractor has the bar force (T) and the push force (F) and the friction force (fr₁)

Y axis

        N₁ -W₁ = 0

        N₁ = M₁ g

X axis

        F - T - fr₁ = M₁ a

the Trailer has the bar force (T) and the friction force (fr₂)

Y axis  

      N₂ - W₂ = 0

      N₂ = m₂ g

X axis

     T - fr₂ = m₂ a

let's write the system of equations

      F - T - fr₁ = M₁ a          (1)

           T - fr₂ = m₂ a

we solve

       F - (fr₁ + fr₂) = (M₁ + m₂) a

indicate that the total friction forces are fr = 3000N

       fr = fr₁ + fr₂

         

        F =\frac{(M_1+m_2) a}{fr}

         

let's calculate

        F =\frac{(2000+1500) \ 3}{3000}

        F = 3.5 N

The friction force is

       fr = μ N

the norm of the system is N = N₁ + N₂

       μ = \frac{fr}{N_1 + N_2}

       μ = \frac{3000}{2000+1500}

       μ = 0.858

with this value we can find the friction force 1 and substitute in equation 1

       F - T - μ N₁ = M₁ a

       T = F - M₁ (a + μ g)

        T = 3.5 - 2000 (3 + 0.858  9.8)

        T = -22796.5 N

b) when the system moves with constant velocity the acceleration is zero

            F - T - fr₁ = 0

                  T - fr₂ = 0

we solve

           F + (fr₁ + fr₂) = 0

           F = fr₁ + fr₂

           F = 3000 N

Nady [450]
Based on your problem where as ask for the distance of the ball drop between the pitchers mound and the home plate and with a given of the speed of ball is 43m/s and the homeplates is 60.6ft away. Based on my step by step procedure and also considering the value of gravity by 9.8m/s^2 i came up with the distance of 144m away

Answer:

    wo = 18.75 rev / s

Explanation:

This is an exercise in endowment kinematics, it indicates that the final angular velocity is w_f = 109 rad / s, the time to reach this velocity is t = 1.87 s and the deceleration a = 4.7 rad / s²

         w_f = w₀ - a t

         w₀ = w_f + a t

         w₀ = 109 + 4.7 1.87

         w₀ = 117.8 rad / s

let's reduce to revolutions / s

         w₀ = 117.8 rad / s (1 rev / 2pi rad)

         w₀ = 18.75 rev / s
