Concept explainers

Rotational Equilibrium And Rotational Dynamics

In physics, the state of balance between the forces and the dynamics of motion is called the equilibrium state. The balance between various forces acting on a system in a rotational motion is called rotational equilibrium or rotational dynamics.

Equilibrium of Forces

The tension created on one body during push or pull is known as force.

A boy has filled his toy box with all his favorite toys and it trying to drag it across the floor. The toy box has a mass of 35 kg (including the toys) and the child pulls with a force of 24 N at an angle of 30 degrees above horizontal (he is pulling mostly horizontally, but some of the force is pulling up). How will the normal force between the box and the ground change when the boy starts pulling?
A block is resting on a wooden plank. There is a hinge on one end of the plank which allows the other end to be lifted to create an angle, θ, with respect to the horizontal as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plank is μs. If a student measures that the block begins to move at an angle of θ = 20.5°, what is the numerical value of the coefficient of static friction, μs?
Problems 1. Three forces act on particle A located at the origin of an x-y coordinate system. Force B acts at 140° from the positive x-axis, and force C acts at 15° from the positive x-axis. The weight acts down with a magnitude of W = 100 kN. Use the equations of equilibrium to determine the magnitudes of B and C such that particle A is in equilibrium. For problems 2-5, consider the following scenario. Equilibrium of a particle: EF=0 XFx=0 and ΣFy=0. Dimensions are: h = 2.5 ft, d₁ = 4.75 ft, and d₂ = 3 ft. Give numeric answers to three significant figures. The load W = 50 lb. d₁ dz A h α W B

A boy has filled his toy box with all his favorite toys and it trying to drag it across the floor. The toy box has a mass of 35 kg (including the toys) and the child pulls with a force of 24 N at an angle of 30 degrees above horizontal (he is pulling mostly horizontally, but some of the force is pulling up). How will the normal force between the box and the ground change when the boy starts pulling? Your answer: The normal force will increase when he pulls. The normal force will decrease when he pulls. The normal force will stay the same.
