Two blocks, with masses m and 3m , are attached to the ends of a string with negligible mass that passes over a pulley, as shown

above. The pulley has negligible mass and friction and is attached to the ceiling by a bracket. The blocks are simultaneously released from rest.
(b) Determine the work done by the string on the two-block system as each block moves a distance d.

Answer:

(a)v = √gd (b) Td - Td = 0 (c) -g/4 m/s²

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

By the work energy theorem,

ΔKE = W = work done

1/2 *3m * v² + 1/2 * m * v² = 3mgd - mgd

so,

2 v² = 2gd

v = √gd

(b)W tension system = Td - Td = 0

(c) a = 3mg - mg/ 4m = g/2

Thus,

Acm = 3 m (g/2) + m (g/2)/4m

= -g/4 m/s²

Note: The complete question to this example is shown below

Two blocks, with masses m and 3m, are attached to the ends of a string with negligible mass that passes over a pulley, as shown above. The pulley has negligible mass and friction and is attached to the ceiling by a bracket. The blocks are simultaneously released from rest.

(a) Derive an equation for the speed v of the block of mass 3m after it falls a distance d in terms of m, d, and physical constants, as appropriate.

(b) Determine the work done by the string on the two-block system as each block moves a distance d.

(c) The acceleration of the center of mass of the blocks-string-pulley system has magnitude aCOM . Briefly  explain, in terms of any external forces acting on the system, why aCOM

Someone is trying to balance a (110cm) plank with certain forces.
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

a. i. 30 Nm ii. This moment is a clockwise positive moment.

b. i. 15 Nm ii, This moment is a counter-clockwise negative moment.

c. i. The plank will not balance. ii. The plank would tip up.

d. 150 N

Explanation:

a) Calculate the moment of the 60N force (about O), then name its type.

i. Calculate the moment of the 60N force (about O)

Since moment = Force × perpendicular distance from point of moment ,

M = Fd

Since F = 60 N and d = 50 cm = 0.5 m

M = 60 N × 0.5 m = 30 Nm

ii. Then name its type.

This moment is a clockwise positive moment.

b) Calculate the moment of the 30N force (about O), then name its type.

i. Calculate the moment of the 30N force (about O),

Since moment = Force × perpendicular distance from point of moment ,

M' = F'd'

Since F' = 30 N and d' = 50 cm = 0.5 m

M' = 30 N × 0.5 m = 15 Nm

ii. Then name its type.

This moment is a counter-clockwise negative moment.

c) Will the plank balance? If not, which way will it tip?

i. Will the plank balance?

The plank will balance if the net moment on it is zero

So net moment, M' = positive moment - negative moment = M - M' = 30 Nm   - 15 Nm = 15 Nm

Since the net moment on the plank is M" = 15 Nm ≠ 0,<u>the plank will not balance.</u>

ii Which way will it tip?

The plank would tip in the direction of the greater moment since the net moment is positive. <u>This moment tilts the plank in a clockwise direction, so the plank would tip up.</u>

d) What extra force would be needed at (B) to balance the plank?

The extra force must balance the net moment,

So M" = F"d" where F" = force and d" = distance of force from O = 10 cm = 0.10 m

F" = M"/d"

= 15 Nm/0.10 m

= 150 N
