By means of a rope whose mass is negligible, two blocks are suspended over a pulley, as the drawing shows, with m1 = 12.1 kg and

m2 = 43.7 kg. The pulley can be treated as a uniform, solid, cylindrical disk. The downward acceleration of the 43.7 kg block is observed to be exactly one-half the acceleration due to gravity. Noting that the tension in the rope is not the same on each side of the pulley, find the mass of the pulley.

Answer:

14.8 kg

Explanation:

We are given that

m_1=43.7 kg

m_2=12.1 kg

g=9.8 m/s^2

a=\frac{1}{2}(9.8)=4.9 m/s^2

We have to find the mass of the pulley.

According to question

T_2-m_2 g=m_2 a

T_2=m_2a+m_2g=m_2(a+g)=12.1(9.8+4.9)=177.87 N

T_1=m_1(g-a)=43.7(9.8-4.9)=214.13 N

Moment of inertia of pulley=I=\frac{1}{2}Mr^2

(T_2-T_1)r=I(-\alpha)=\frac{1}{2}Mr^2(\frac{-a}{r})=\frac{1}{2}Mr(-4.9)

Where \alpha=\frac{a}{r}

(177.87-214.13)=-\frac{1}{2}(4.9)M

-36.26=-\frac{1}{2}(4.9)M

M=\frac{36.26\times 2}{4.9}=14.8 kg

Hence, the mass of the pulley=14.8 kg

A person is standing on an elevator initially at rest at the first floor of a high building. The elevator then begins to ascend
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The found acceleration in terms of h and t is:

a=\frac{h}{5(t_1)^2}

Explanation:

(The complete question is given in the attached picture. We need to find the acceleration in terms of h and t in this question)

We are given 3 stages of movement of elevator. We'll first model them each of the stage one by one to find the height covered in each stage. After that we'll find the total height covered by adding heights covered in each stage, and equate it to Total height h. From that we can find the formula for acceleration.

<h3></h3><h3>Stage 1</h3>

Constant acceleration, starts from rest.

Distance = y = \frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2

Velocity = v_1=at_1

<h3>Stage 2</h3>

Constant velocity where

Velocity = v_o=v_1=at_1

Distance =

<h3>y_2=v_2(t_2)\\\text{Where~}t_2=4t_1 ~\text{and}~ v_2=v_1=at_1\\y_2=(at_1)(4t_1)\\y_2=4a(t_1)^2\\</h3><h3 /><h3>Stage 3</h3>

Constant deceleration where

Velocity = v_0=v_1=at_1

Distance =

y_3=v_1t_3-\frac{1}{2}a(t_3)^2\\\text{Where}~t_3=t_1\\y_3=v_1t_1-\frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2\\\text{Where}~ v_1t_1=a(t_1)^2\\y_3=a(t_1)^2-\frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2\\\text{Subtracting both terms:}\\y_3=\frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2

<h3>Total Height</h3>

Total height = y₁ + y₂ + y₃

Total height = \frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2+4a(t_1)^2+\frac{1}{2}a(t_1)^2 = 5a(t_1)^2

<h3 /><h3>Acceleration</h3>

Find acceleration by rearranging the found equation of total height.

Total Height = h

h = 5a(t₁)²

a=\frac{h}{5(t_1)^2}

A soft drink (mostly water) flows in a pipe at a beverage plant with a mass flow rate that would fill 220 0.355 - L cans per min
jekas [21]

Answer:

a)  1.301 kg/s

b) 0.001301 m³/s

c) V₁ = 6.505 m/s, V₂ = 1.626 m/s

d) 118.93 kPa

Explanation:

Given:

The number of cans  = 220

The volume of can, V = 0.355 L = 0.355 × 10⁻³ m³

time = 1 minute = 60 seconds

gauge pressure at point 2, P₂ = 152 kPa

b) Thus, the volume flow rate, Q = Volume/ time

Q = (220 × 0.355 × 10⁻³)/60 = 0.001301 m³/s

a) mass flow rate = Volume flow rate × density

since it is mostly water, thus density of the drink = 1000 kg/m³

thus,

mass flow rate = 0.001301 m³/s × 1000 kg/m³ = 1.301 kg/s

c) Given:

Cross section at point 1 = 2.0 cm² = 2 × 10 ⁻⁴ m²

Cross section at point 2 = 8.0 cm² = 8 × 10 ⁻⁴ m²

also,

Q = Area × Velocity

thus, for point 1

0.001301 m³/s = 2 × 10 ⁻⁴ m² × velocity at point 1 (V₁)

or

V₁ = 6.505 m/s

for point 2

0.001301 m³/s = 8 × 10 ⁻⁴ m² × velocity at point 1 (V₂)

or

V₂ = 1.626 m/s

d) Applying the Bernoulli's theorem between the points 1 and 2 we have

P_1+\rho gV_1 + \frac{\rho V_1^2}{2}=P_2+\rho gV_2 + \frac{\rho V_2^2}{2}

or

P_1=P_2+\rho\timesg(y_2-y_1)+\frac{\rho}{2}(V_2^2-V_1^2))

on substituting the values in the above equation, we get

P_1=152+1000\times 9.8(1.35)+\frac{1000}{2}(1.626^2-6.505^2))

it is given that point 1 is above point 2 thus, y₂ -y₁ is negative

or

P_1=118.93\ kPa

thus, gauge pressure at point 1 is 118.93 kPa

If a car changes ita velocity from 32km/hr to 54km/hr in 8.0 seconds, what is its acceleration
Andrews [41]
Firstly, let's convert the velocities in km/hr to m/s
32*1000/3600=8.89m/s
54*1000/3600=15m/s
From the formula, acceleration=V-U/t
15-8.89/8=0.76m/s²
hope this helps.

The cabinet is mounted on coasters and has a mass of 45 kg. The casters are locked to prevent the tires from rotating. The coeff
stira [4]

Answer:

the force P required for impending motion is 132.3 N

the largest value of "h" allowed if the cabinet is not to tip over is 0.8 m

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of the cabinet  m = 45 kg

coefficient of static friction μ =  0.30

A free flow body diagram illustrating what the question represents is attached in the file below;

The given condition from the question let us realize that ; the casters are locked to prevent the tires from rotating.

Thus; considering the forces along the vertical axis ; we have :

\sum f_y =0

The upward force and the downward force is :

N_A+N_B = mg

where;

\mathbf { N_A  \ and  \ N_B} are the normal contact force at center point A and B respectively .

N_A+N_B = 45*9.8

N_A+N_B = 441    ------- equation (1)

Considering the forces on the horizontal axis:

\sum f_x = 0

F_A +F_B  = P

where ;

\mathbf{ F_A \ and \ F_B } are the static friction at center point A and B respectively.

which can be written also as:

\mu_s N_A + \mu_s N_B  = P

\mu_s( N_A +  N_B)  = P

replacing our value from equation (1)

P = 0.30 ( 441)    

P = 132.3 N

Thus; the force P required for impending motion is 132.3 N

b) Since the horizontal distance between the casters A and B is 480 mm; Then half the distance = 480 mm/2 = 240 mm = 0.24 cm

the largest value of "h" allowed for  the cabinet is not to tip over is calculated by determining the limiting condition  of the unbalanced torque whose effect is canceled by the normal reaction at N_A and it is shifted to N_B:  

Then:

\sum M _B = 0

P*h = mg*0.24

h =\frac{45*9.8*0.24}{132.3}

h = 0.8 m

Thus; the largest value of "h" allowed if the cabinet is not to tip over is 0.8 m
