Answer to Problem 39P

The average reaction force for the corresponding time of contact is calculated and tabulated in Table 1.

Explanation of Solution

Given data:

Weight of the laptop (w) is 22 N.

Laptop is dropped at a height (h) is 1m.

Formula used:

Formula to determine the average force is,

Favg=mVfmViΔt (1)

Here,

Δt is the time period.

m is the mass of the object.

Vf is the final velocity of the object.

Vi is the initial velocity of the object.

Formula to determine the initial velocity of the laptop right before the floor is,

Vi=2gh (2)

Here,

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

h is the height at which laptop is dropped.

Formula to determine the mass of the laptop is,

m=wg (3)

Here,

w is the weight.

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Calculation:

The cushion material reduces the velocity of the laptop to a final velocity of zero. Therefore,

Vf=0

Substitute 9.81ms2 for g and 1 m for h in equation (2).

Vi=2×9.81ms2×1m=19.62m2s2=4.43ms

Substitute 22 N for w and 9.81ms2 for g in equation (3).

m=22N9.81ms2        [1N=kgms2]=2.24Ns2m      [1kg=Ns2m]=2.24kg

Substitute 0 for Vf, 2.24 kg for m, 4.43ms for Vi, and 0.01 s for Δt in equation (1).

Favg=(2.24kg×0)(2.24kg×4.43ms)(0.01s)=(0)(9.92kgms)(0.01s)=(9.92kgms)(10.01s)            [1N=kgms2]=992N

Substitute 0 for Vf, 2.24 kg for m, 4.43ms for Vi, and 0.05 s for Δt in equation (1).

Favg=(2.24kg×0)(2.24kg×4.43ms)(0.05s)

Reduce the equation as follows,

Favg=(0)(9.92kgms)(0.05s)=9.92kgms×10.05s          [1N=kgms2]=198N

Substitute 0 for Vf, 2.24 kg for m, 4.43ms for Vi, and 0.1 s for Δt in equation (1).

Favg=(2.24kg×0)(2.24kg×4.43ms)(0.1s)=(0)(9.92kgms)(0.1s)=(9.92kgms)(10.1s)                 [1N=kgms2]=99.2N

Substitute 0 for Vf, 2.24 kg for m, 4.43ms for Vi, and 1 s for Δt in equation (1).

Favg=(2.24kg×0)(2.24kg×4.43ms)(1s)=(0)(9.92kgms)(1s)=(9.92kgms)(11s)                     [1N=kgms2]=9.92N

Substitute 0 for Vf, 2.24 kg for m, 4.43ms for Vi, and 2 s for Δt in equation (1).

Favg=(2.24kg×0)(2.24kg×4.43ms)(2s)=(0)(9.92kgms)(2s)=(9.92kgms)(12s)                  [1N=kgms2]=4.96N

Thus, the average reaction force for the corresponding time of contact is calculated and tabulated in table 1.

Table 1

Time of contact (Seconds)The average reaction force (N)
0.01992N
0.05198N
0.199.2 N
1.09.92 N
2.04.96 N

Conclusion:

Hence, the average reaction force for the corresponding time of contact is calculated and tabulated.
