A 10 kg block rests on an inclined plane. The block is attached to a bucket by pulley system depicted below. The mass in the bucket is gradually increased by the addition of sand. At some point, the bucket will accumulate enough sand to set the block in motion.
The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are 0.60 and 0.50 respectively.
This is a 2 pulley system. The mass of the sand and bucket needed to start the block moving is 20.4 kg.
Find the blocks acceleration, in [m/s2] up the plane?

- 3. To help workers in your project site move dozens of equipment weighing 60 kgs to a height of 2.2m, you decided to apply the concept of simple machine. You want an inclined plane to be built. Given the angle between the incline and the ground, what would be the most efficient incline to be built to raise the equipments? Why? Here are the angles you can choose from for your incline: a. 15°; b. 30°; c. 60arrow_forwarda. Calculate the force (in N) needed to bring a 950 kg car to rest from a speed of 80.0 km/h in a distance of 110 m (a fairly typical distance for a non-panic stop). b.

Suppose a person uses a mechanical jack to lift one half the weight of a car with a mass of 1200 kg. During each stroke of the jack handle, the person’s hand is pushing for a distance of 40.0 cm but the car is lifted only 5.0 mm. (a) Assuming the jack is 100% efficient, how much force must the person exert on the handle as the car is lifted? (b) If the actual amount of force required on the handle is 90.0 N, what is the actual efficiency of the jack?arrow_forward

Assuming the drag force is proportional to 2 and ignoring other sources of friction, calculate the power required to maintain a speed of 100 km/h as the car climbs a long hill sloping at 3.20.arrow_forwardA large man pushes against a horizontal panel connected to a spring.

- A Makeshift Elevator While exploring an elaborate tunnel system, you and your team get lost and find yourselves at the bottom of 450-m vertical shaft. Suspended from a thick rope (near the floor) is a large rectangular bucket that looks like it had been used to transport tools and debris up and down the tunnel. Mounted on the floor near one of the walls is a gasoline engine (3.4 hp) that turns a pulley and rope, and a sign that reads "Emergency Lift." It is clear that the engine is used to drive the bucket up the shaft. On the wall next to the engine is a sign indicating that a full tank of gas will last exactly 15 minutes when the engine is running at full power. You open the engine's gas tank and estimate that it is 1/4 full, and there are no other sources of gasoline.

Will it get her out of…arrow_forward5. Inclined planes are a type of simple machine. The purpose of a simple machine is to reduce the amount of force required to achieve a certain task. The tradeoff is that that force must be applied over a larger distance. Suppose that we need to lift a 50 kg box a distance of 1 m vertically. One option would be to push it up an inclined plane. Suppose the inclined plane makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal, and the coefficient of friction between the box and the inclined plane is 0.2. (a) What is the minimum amount of force required to push the box up the incline? How does this force compare to the minimum force required to lift it straight up? (b) What is the distance you must push the box up the incline? (c) What is the minimum amount of work you must do to push the box up the incline? How does this compare to the amount of work required to lift it straight up?arrow_forwardThe figure shows a 100kg block being released from rest from a height of 1m. It then takes 0.90s to reach the floor. What is the mass of the other block (m)? The pulley has no appreciable mass or friction. Please answer in kgarrow_forward
