- A block of mass 4m can move without friction on a horizontal table. The block is attached to another block of mass m by a string that passes over a frictionless pulley. If the masses of the string and the pulley are negligible, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the descending block?arrow_forwardThe two blocks shown are originally at rest. Neglect the masses of the pulleys and the effect of friction in the pulleys and between the blocks and the incline. Consider WA = 206 lb and WB = 306 lb.arrow_forwardA ball of mass m is suspended from two massless strings of an equal length as shown. The tension force in each string is:arrow_forward
- Blocks A and B have masses mA, and mB , respectively. Neglecting friction between all surfaces, draw the FBD and KD for each mass.arrow_forward1. Two masses are connected by a cord and accelerates to the left. M1 has a mass of 20 kg and rests on an incline plane at 37 degrees with respect to the horizontal while m2 has a mass of 10 kg and is hanging above the floor. Find the magnitude of the acceleration and the tension in the cord assuming that there is no friction between the block and the inclined plane. 2. In the previous problem, suppose that the 10 kg block, instead of hanging, lies on a horizontal, frictionless surface to the right of the pulley and the 10 kg mass is horizontal. Calculate the following:a. The acceleration of the blocks.b. The tension in the cable.arrow_forwardDetermine the magnitude of the force P a) knowing that the block are initially at rest and that B moves through 3m in 2s b) knowing that the block are initially at rest and that B moves through 4m in 2s c) knowing that the block are initially at rest and that B moves through 6m in 2sarrow_forward
- The two blocks shown start from rest. The horizontal plane and the pulley are frictionless, and the pulley is assumed to be of negligible mass. Determine the acceleration of each block and the tension in each cord.arrow_forwardFor a technology project, a student has built a vehicle, of total mass 6.00 kg, that moves itself. As shown, it runs on four light wheels. A reel is attached to one of the axles, and a cord originally wound on the reel goes up over a pulley attached to the vehicle to support an elevated load. After the vehicle is released from rest, the load descends very slowly, unwinding the cord to turn the axle and make the vehicle move forward (to the left as shown). Friction is negligible in the pulley and axle bearings. The wheels do not slip on the floor. The reel has been constructed with a conical shape so that the load descends at a constant low speed while the vehicle moves horizontally across the floor with constant acceleration, reaching a final velocity of 3.00î m/s. (a) Does the floor impart impulse to the vehicle? If so, how much? (b) Does the floor do work on the vehicle? If so, how much? (c) Does it make sense to say that the final momentum of the vehicle came from the floor? If…arrow_forwardA heavy truck is running up the track at an incline of 1 in 15 (sine) at a constant speed of 50 km/h. The total working power is 65 kW during this working condition. Calculate the power required to overcome the friction of force or the road resistance if knowing the mass of the truck is 10 tonnes?arrow_forward
- In a governor of the Hartnell type the arms of the bell-crank leversare equal in length, and those carrying the operating masses arevertical when the governor is rotating at its mean speed of 775rev/min, with the masses moving in a circle of 175 mm diameter -The usual central controlling spring is replaced by two paralleltension springs direetly connecting the operating masses. Find(a) the magnitude of each operating mass if a force of 90 N isrequired at the sleeve to maintain it in the mean speed positionwhen the specd is increased from 775 to 800 rev/m in(b) the stiffness, or rate, of each spring if the ratio of sleevemovement to increase of speed is 1 mm to 10 revImin when inthe mean speed position.arrow_forwardThe fluid transmission of a 15-Mg truck allows the engine to deliver an essentially constant power of 50 kW to the driving wheels. Determine the time required and the distance traveled as the speed of the truck is increased ( a) from 36 km/h to 54 km/h, (b) from 54 km/h to 72 km/h.arrow_forwardFour pins slide in four separate slots cut in a horizontal circular plate as shown. When the plate is at rest, each pin has a velocity directed as shown and of the same constant magnitude u. Each pin has a mass m and maintains the same velocity relative to the plate when the plate rotates about O with a constant counterclockwise angular velocity w. Draw the FBDs and KDs to determine the forces on pins p1 and p2.arrow_forward
