Conservation of Energy

In physics, the rule of the conservation of energy states that energy doesn’t disappear from the atmosphere; instead, it changes its form from one type to another. Energy is one of the most important physical quantities in nature, and it cannot be create…

Textbook Question

Chapter 14, Problem 14.116RP

A chain of length l and mass m falls through a small hole in a plate. Initially, when y is very small, the chain is at rest. In each case shown, determine (a) the acceleration of the first link A as a function of y, (b) the velocity of the chain as the last link passes through the hole. In case 1, assume that the individual links are at rest until they fall through the hole. In case 2, assume that at any instant all links have the same speed. Ignore the effect of friction.

A 1.2-lb slider is propelled upward at A along the fixed curved bar which lies in a vertical plane. If the slider is observed to have a speed of 10.2 ft/sec as it passes position B, determine (a) the magnitude N of the force exerted by the fixed rod on the slider and (b) the rate i at which the speed of the slider is changing (positive if speeding up, negative if slowing down). Assume that friction is negligible. 26 1.6' Answers: N = i Ib i ft/sec2

A 1.4-lb slider is propelled upward at A along the fixed curved bar which lies in a vertical plane. If the slider is observed to have a speed of 8.2 ft/sec as it passes position B, determine (a) the magnitude N of the force exerted by the fixed rod on the slider and (b) the rate v at which the speed of the slider is changing (positive if speeding up, negative if slowing down). Assume that friction is negligible. B 32 3.1' Answers: N = i Ib i ft/sec?

* Incorrect A 2.9-lb slider is propelled upward at A along the fixed curved bar which lies in a vertical plane. If the slider is observed to have a speed of 8.0 ft/sec as it passes position B, determine (a) the magnitude N of the force exerted by the fixed rod on the slider and (b) the rate at which the speed of the slider is changing (positive if speeding up, negative if slowing down). Assume that friction is negligible. 3.1' ACO Answers: N = v= i -0.848 -16.73 lb ft/sec²
