Chapter 11, Problem 37A
Why does a washing machine vibrate violently if the clothes are not evenly distributed in the tub?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To explain: The reason for the violent vibrations in washing machine if the clothes are not evenly distributed in the tub.
Answer to Problem 37A
Due to disturbance in center axis clothes starts turbulence and machine starts vibrating.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Disturbing the spinning axis creates an uneven revolution of objects around. This creates wobbling.
When the Center of Gravity is not along the spin axis, wobbling will occur. This creates turbulence in the tub. That is why, when clothes are not distributed evenly in the tub, their spinning axis gets disturbed and the washing machine vibrates violently.
Conclusion:
Due to disturbance in the spinning axis, turbulence occurs and the uneven distribution of clothes creates wobbling in the machine and it starts vibrating.

Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion? What about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one- way trip from the the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets? (c) To reach Mars from the…arrow_forward
