Chapter 3, Problem 42PQ

The same vectors that are shown in Figure P3.6 are shown in Figure P3.42. The magnitudes are F1 = 1.90f, F2 = f, and F3 = 1.4f, where f is a constant.

a. Use the coordinate system shown in Figure P3.42 to find R=F1+F2+F3 in component form in terms of f.

b. If Rx = 0.33, what is Ry?

c. Check your result by comparing your answer to that of Problem 6.

The component form of R in terms of f.

Answer to Problem 42PQ

The component form of R in terms of f is R=0.166fi0.188fj_.

Explanation of Solution

R in vector component form can be written as follows using figure P3.42.

  R=F1+F2+F3 (I)

Here, R is the resultant force, F1, F2 , and F3 are the components of force

The force F2 with magnitude f can be resolved into two from figure, fcos30°i and fsin30°j, thus F2 will be the sum of both. Similarly F3 will be the sum of 1.4fcos60°i and 1.4sin60°j.

Conclusion:

Substitute, 1.90f for F1, fcos30°i+fsin30°j for F2, and 1.4sin60°j+1.4fcos60°i for F3 in equation (I).

  R=1.90fjfcos30°i+fsin30°j+1.4sin60°j+1.4fcos60°i=0.188fj0.166fi

Therefore, the component form of R in terms of f is R=0.166fi0.188fj_.

To determine

The value of Ry.

Answer to Problem 42PQ

The value of Ry is 0.373_.

Explanation of Solution

Given that Rx is equal to 0.33.

But from part (a) it is obtained that R=0.166fi0.188fj.

R can be also resolved into two components, Rx and Ry.

  R=Rx+Ry (II)

Rearrange equation (II) to obtain expression for Ry.

  Ry=RRx                                                                                                             (III)

Compare the two values of R the value of Rx.

  Rx=0.166f=0.33                                                                                             (IV)

Conclusion:

From equation (III) find the value of f.

  0.166f=0.33f=0.330.166=1.99

Substitute, 0.166fi0.188fj for R, 0.166f for Rx, and 1.99 for f in equation (III).

  Ry=0.166fi0.188fjRx0.166fi=0.188×1.99=0.373

Therefore, the value of Ry is 0.373_.

(c)

Expert Solution

To determine

Compare result with the one obtained for problem 6.

Answer to Problem 42PQ

Result is consistent with those obtained for problem 6.

Explanation of Solution

The resultant vector is in fourth quadrant, and magnitude is small compared to the length of individual vectors.

Therefore, the results of both problems are consistent.

You have a summer internship at NASA and are working on plans for a new space station to be launched into orbit around the Earth. The design of the space station is shown. It is to be constructed in the shape of a hollow ring of mass 58,500 kg. The structures other than the ring shown in the figure have negligible mass compared to the ring. Members of the crew will walk on a deck formed by the inner surface of the outer cylindrical wall of the ring, with radius r = 125 m. The thickness of the ring is very small compared to the radius, so we can model the ring as a hoop. At rest when constructed, the ring is to be set rotating about its axis so that the people standing inside on this deck experience an effective free-fall acceleration equal to g. The rotation is achieved by firing two small rockets attached tangentially to opposite points on the rim of the ring. Your supervisor asks you to determine the following: (a) the time interval during which the rockets must be fired if each…
