A 740-kg boulder is raised from a quarry 119 m deep by a long uniform chain having a mass of 550 kg . This chain is of uniform s

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

A) the maximum acceleration the boulder can have and still get out of the quarry

B) how long does it take to be lifted out at maximum acceleration if it started from rest

Explanation:

A)

let +y is upward. look below at the free body diagram. the mass M refers to the combined mass of the boulder and chain.

the weight of the chain is: $w_{c} =m_{c} g$ and maximum tension is $T=2.50 m_{c} g=1.41*10^4N$

total mass and weight is :

$M =m_{c}+ m_{b} =740kg+550kg=1290 kg$

$w_{M} =1.2650*10^4N$

∑ $F_{y} =ma_{y}$

$T-M_{g} =Ma_{y}$

$a_{y} =(t-M_{g} )/M=(2.50m_{c} -M_{g} )/M=(2.50.550kg-1290kg)(9.8m/s^2)/1290kg$

$=0.645m/s^2$

B)

maximum acceleration

$a_{y} =0.645m/s^2\\\\y-y_{0} =119m\\v_{0y} =0$

using $y-y_{0} =v_{oy} t+1/2(a_{y} )t^2$

to solve for t

$t=\sqrt{2(y-y_{0} )/a_{y} }$

$t=\sqrt{2(119m)/0.645m/s^2} =19.20s$

A train locomotive is pulling two cars of the same mass behind it. Determine the ratio of the tension in the coupling (think of

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The ratio is $\frac{F_{T1}}{F_{T2}} = 2$

Explanation:

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

Here we are assume the acceleration of the train is a

which makes the acceleration of each car a

From the question we are told that

Considering the second car

The force causing it s movement is mathematically represented as

$F_{T2} = ma$

Considering the first car

The force causing it s movement is mathematically represented as

$F = F_{T1} -F_{T2} = ma$

=> $F_{T1} -ma = ma$

=> $F_{T1} = 2 ma$

=> $\frac{F_{T1}}{ma} = 2$

=> $\frac{F_{T1}}{F_{T2}} = 2$
