Two identical copper blocks are connected by a weightless, unstretchable cord through a frictionless pulley at the top of a thin

wedge. One edge of the wedge is vertical, and the tip makes an angle of 33. The block that hangs vertically weighs 2.85 kg, and the block on the incline weighs 2.94 kg. If the two blocks do not move, what is magnitude of the force of friction on the second second block

Answer:

13.6 N

Explanation:

Since one side of the wedge is vertical and the wedge makes and angle of 33 with the horizontal, the angle between the weight of the copper block on the incline and the incline is thus 90 - 33 = 57.

Let M be the mass of the block that hangs, m be the mass of the block on the incline and T be the tension in the weightless unstretchable cord.

We assume the motion is downwards in the direction of the hanging block, M.

We now write equations of motion for each block.

So

Mg - T = Ma    (1) and T - mgcos57 - F = ma where F is the frictional force on the block on the incline and a is their acceleration.

Now, since both blocks do not move, a = 0.

So, Mg - T = M(0) = 0     and T - mgcos57 - F = m(0) = 0

Mg - T = 0    (3) and T - mgcos57 - F = 0 (4)

From (3), T = Mg

Substituting T into (4), we have

T - mgcos57 - F = 0

Mg - mgcos57 - F = 0

So, Mg - mgcos57 = F  

F = Mg - mgcos57

F = (M - mcos57)g

Since g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², and M = 2.94 kg and m = 2.85 kg.

We find F, thus

F = (2.94 kg - 2.85 kgcos57)9.8 m/s²

F = (2.94 kg - 2.85 kg × 0.5446)9.8 m/s²

F = (2.94 kg - 1.552 kg)9.8 m/s²

F = (1.388 kg)9.8 m/s²

F = 13.6024 kgm/s²

F ≅ 13.6 N

These are the Kepler's laws of planetary motion.

This law relates a planet's orbital period and its average distance to the Sun. - Third law of Kepler.

The orbits of planets are ellipses with the Sun at one focus. - First law of Kepler.

The speed of a planet varies, such that a planet sweeps out an equal area in equal time frames. - Second law of Kepler.

a mass of 1.00 kg of water at temperature T is poured from a height of 0.100 km into a vessel containing water of the same tempe
Mariana [72]

Answer:

1.34352 kg

Explanation:

m_w = Mass of water falling = 1 kg

h = Height of fall = 0.1 km

\Delta T = Change in temperature = 0.1

c = Specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg K

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

m_v = Mass of water in the vessel

Here the potential energy will balance the internal energy

m_wgh=m_wc\Delta T+m_vc\Delta T\\\Rightarrow m_v=\dfrac{m_wgh-m_wc\Delta T}{c\Delta T}\\\Rightarrow m_v=\dfrac{m_wgh}{c\Delta T}-m_w\\\Rightarrow m_v=\dfrac{1\times 9.81\times 100}{4186\times 0.1}-1\\\Rightarrow m_v=1.34352\ kg

Mass of the water in the vessel is 1.34352 kg
