A solid ball is released from rest and slides down a hill-side that slopes downward at 65.0° from the horizontal. (a) What minimum value must the coefficient of static friction between the hill and ball surfaces have for no slipping to occur? (b) Would the coefficient of friction calculated in part (a) be sufficient to prevent a hollow ball (such as a soccer ball) from slipping? Justify your answer. (c) In part (a), why did we use the coefficient of static friction and not the coefficient of kinetic friction?

- As shown in Figure OQ10.9, a cord is wrapped onto a cylindrical reel mounted on a fixed, frictionless, horizontal axle. When does the reel have a greater magnitude of angular acceleration? (a) When the cord is pulled down with a constant force of 50 N. (b) When an object of weight 50 N is hung from the cord and released. (c) The angular accelerations in parts (a) and (b) are equal. (d) It is impossible to determine. Figure OQ10.9arrow_forwardJohn is pushing his daughter Rachel in a wheelbarrow when it is stopped by a brick 8.00 cm high (see the figure below). The handles make an angle of 0 = 15.5° with the ground. Due to the weight of Rachel and the wheelbarrow, a downward force of 382 N is exerted at the center of the wheel, which has a radius of 15.0 cm. Assume the brick remains fixed and does not slide along the ground. Also assume the force applied by John is directed exactly toward the center of the wheel. (Choose the positive x-axis to be pointing to the right.) (a) What force (in N) must John apply along the handles to just start the wheel over the brick? N (b) What is the force (magnitude in kN and direction in degrees clockwise from the -x-axis) that the brick exerts on the wheel just as the wheel begins to lift over the brick? magnitude KN direction clockwise from the -x-axisarrow_forwardA massless cable is used to connect the center of mass of the cylinder A to the box B hanging over the pulley C. Take the coefficient of static friction as µs = 0.25 and that of kinetic friction as µk = 0.2. Assume that there is no slipping at the contact point D and solve the problem using Newton's second law to find: a) angular accelerations of the cylinder A and pulley C (aA and ac), b) tension forces in the cable on both sides of the pulley C (cylinder side is TA and box side is TB), and c) normal and rolling forces at D (Np and FD). d) Is the assumption of no slipping at the contact point D correct? Why or why not? Notes: 1) We are asuming that tension forces on two sides of the pulley C are not the same, but acceleration of the cable from A to B stays the same. 2) For a cylinder or disk of mass m and radius r, moment of inertia about its center is given as I = mr2/2. 3)Do not forget to sketch the FBD’s for the cylinder A, box B and pulley C. m, = 12 kg mc = 4 kg rc =0.2 m TA=0.5…arrow_forward

First a 100.0-ft-long chord is measured. Then the curvature is reported as the angle subtended by two radii at the endpoints of the chord. (The angle is measured by determining the angle between two tangents 100.0 ft apart; since each tangent is perpendicular to a radius, the angles are the same.) In modern railroad construction, track curvature is kept below 1.20°. What is the radius of curvature of a “1.20° curve”? answer in ftarrow_forward
- A cue ball (a uniform solid sphere of mass mm and radius R is at rest on a level pool table. Using a pool cue, you give the ball a sharp, horizontal hit of magnitude F at a height hh above the center of the ball. The force of the hit is much greater than the friction force ff that the table surface exerts on the ball. The hit lasts for a short time Δt. (a) For what value of hh will the ball roll without slipping? Use the impulse-momentum theorem to find the speed of the ball's center of mass immediately after the hit. Find the impulsive torque around the ball's center of mass exerted by the cue.arrow_forwardProblem 1: Consider a small block weighing 200 grams that is placed 10 cm from the center of turntable.
