Answer to Problem 78AP

The maximum speed of the needle is 21m/s_.

Explanation of Solution

Consider the needle-spring-body as a system. Since there are resisting forces when the needle moves through the skin. Hence, the maximum speed of the needle when projected horizontally using a spring will be at the point on the patient body.

Consider, the spring-needle as an isolated system.

Since the total energy of the system is conserved from the point the spring is maximumly compressed to the point the needle is on the point on the body of the patient. Hence, the total kinetic and potential energy will be conserved.

Write the equation for conservation of energy

  ΔUs+ΔK=0                                                                                                (I)

Here, ΔUs is the change in spring potential energy and ΔK is the change in kinetic energy.

Write the expression for the change in spring potential energy

  ΔUs=UsfUsi                                                                                            (II)

Here, Usf is the final potential energy of the spring and Usi is the initial potential energy.

Write the equation for spring potential energy

  Us=12kx2

Here, Us is spring potential energy, k is the spring constant and x is the compressed length of the spring.

Since the spring is compressed initially and when the needle touches the skin spring has no potential energy.

Substitute 12kx2 for Usi and 0 for Usf in equation (II).

  ΔUs=0(12kx2)

Simplify the above equation.

  ΔUs=12kx2

Write the expression for the change in kinetic energy of the spring-needle system

  ΔK=KfKi                                                                                             (III)

Here, ΔK is the change in kinetic energy of the spring needle system, Kf is the final kinetic energy and Ki is the initial kinetic energy.

Since the needle is the one having the kinetic energy change when the needle moves from spring to patient body.

Write the equation for the kinetic energy of the needle

  K=12mv2

Here, K is the kinetic energy of the system, m is the mass of the system and v is the speed of the system.

Substitute  12mv2 for Kf and 0 for Ki in equation (III).

  ΔK=(12mv2)0

Simplify the above equation.

  ΔK=12mv2

Substitute 12kx2 for ΔUs and 12mv2 for ΔK in equation (I).

  (12kx2)+(12mv2)=0

Rearrange the above equation.

  v=2(12kx2)m

Simplify the above equation.

  v=xkm                                                                                                     (IV)

Conclusion:

Substitute 375N/m for k, 8.10cm for x and 5.60g for m in equation (IV).

  v=(375N/m)(5.60g)(8.10cm)=(8.10cm)(1m100cm)(375N/m)(5.60g)(1000g1kg)=(0.0810m)66964.28571N/mkg=21m/s

Thus, the maximum speed of the needle is 21m/s_.

Answer to Problem 78AP

The speed at which the flange on the back end of the needle runs into a stop that is set to limit the penetration is 16.1m/s_.

Explanation of Solution

Consider the needle-spring-body system as a system.

Since there are resisting forces when the needle moves through the skin.

Hence, the total energy of the needle while penetrating the skin is transformed into work done by the resisting forces.

Consider the needle-body as an isolated system.

Since the work done on the system is by internal resisting forces which are non-conservative.

Write the equation for conservation for energy

  ΔU+ΔK=W                                                                                              (V)

Here, W is total work done by resisting forces.

Since the needle moves horizontally, hence there is no change in potential energy.

Write the expression for work done

  W=W1+W2

Here, W1 is the work done by resisting force exerted by the skin, soft tissues and W2 is the work done by resisting force exerted by organ.

Write the equation for work done by resisting force

  W=Fd

Here, F is the force in the opposite direction of displacement and d is the magnitude of displacement.

Write the expression for work done using the above equation

  W=(F1d1+F2d2)                                                                                     (VI)

Here, F1 is the resisting force exerted by soft tissues, d1 is the distance needle traveled under the force exerted by soft tissues, F2 is the resisting force exerted by organ and d2 is the distance needle traveled under the force exerted by organ.

Since the needle is the one having the kinetic energy change when the needle moves from spring to patient body.

Substitute 12mv2 for Kf and 0 for Ki in equation (III).

  ΔK=(12mv2)0

Simplify the above equation.

  ΔK=12mv2

Since the spring is compressed initially and when the needle touches the skin spring has no potential energy.

Substitute 12kx2 for Usi and 0 for Usf in equation (II).

  ΔUs=0(12kx2)

Simplify the above equation.

  ΔUs=12kx2

Substitute 12kx2 for ΔUs and 12mv2 for ΔK in equation (V).

  (12kx2)+(12mv2)=W

Rearrange the above equation.

  v=2(12kx2)+2Wm

Simplify the above equation.

  v=kx2+2Wm                                                                                          (VII)

Conclusion:

Substitute 2.40cm for d1, 7.60N for F1, 3.50cm for d2 and 9.20N for F2 in equation (VI).

  W=((7.60N)(2.40cm)+(9.20N)(3.50cm))=((18.24Ncm)+(32.2Ncm))=(50.44Ncm)(1m100cm)=0.544Nm

Substitute 375N/m for k, 8.10cm for x and 5.60g for m, 0.544Nm for W in equation (VII).

  v=(375N/m)(8.10cm)2+2×(0.504Nm)(5.60g)=(24603.75 Ncm2)(1m210000cm2)(2×0.504Nm)(5.60g)(1kg1000g)=259.35m2/s2=16.1m/s

Thus, the speed at which the flange on the back end of the needle runs into a stop that is set to limit the penetration is 16.1m/s_.

A tree contractor has been hired by a homeowner to remove a damaged tree from a previous storm. The top of the tree broke off, leaving the trunk in the ground. The arborist will remove the tree by attaching a rope near the top and cutting the base close to the ground. The scenario is shown in the figure.   The distances in the figure are z=14.7 m,, h=1.45 m,, y=5.66 m and x=8.00 m.
