CP Two uniform solid spheres, each with mass M = 0.800 kg and radius R = 0.0800 m, are connected by a short, light rod that is along a diameter of each sphere and are at rest on a horizontal tabletop. A spring with force constant k = 160 N/m has one end attached to the wall and the other end attached to a frictionless ring that passes over the rod at the center of mass of the spheres, which is midway between the centers of the two spheres. The spheres are each pulled the same distance from the wall, stretching the spring, and released. There is sufficient friction between the tabletop and the spheres for the spheres to roll without slipping as they move back and forth on the end of the spring. Show that the motion of the center of mass of the spheres is simple harmonic and calculate the period.

- As shown in Figure P8.20, a bullet of mass m and speed v passes completely through a pendulum bob of mass M. The bullet emerges with a speed of v/2. The pendulum bob is suspended by a stiff rod (not a string) of length , and negligible mass. What is the minimum value of v such that the pendulum bob will barely swing through a complete vertical circle? Figure P8.20arrow_forwardA 5.00-kg block is moving at 5.00 m/s along a horizontal frictionless surface toward an ideal massless spring that is attached to a wall. After the block collides with the spring, it keeps moving rightwards until the spring reaches its maximum compression of 1.68 m. After reaching maximum compression, the block and spring come to rest momentarily, and then move leftwards. While it is moving to the left, what is the speed of the block when it has moved so that the spring is compressed to only one-half of the maximum distance?arrow_forwardThe ball B shown in the figure has a mass of 1.5 kg and is suspended from the ceiling by a 1 m long elastic cord. If the cord is stretched downward 0.25 m and the ball is released from rest, determine how far the cord stretches after the ball rebounds from the ceiling. The stiffness of the cord is k = 800 N/m and the coefficient of restitution between the ball and ceiling is e = 0.8. The ball makes a central impact with the ceiling.arrow_forward
- Consider a flat-bed truck whose mass, including its contents, is supported equally by its four tires. Assume the truck has four-wheel drive, so the drive train translates the power of the motor equally to all four wheels. The mass of just the truck is m2, and the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road is μs. A metal crate of mass m1 sits on the flat, horizontal, wooden bed of the truck, and μk is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the bed and the metal crate. Part (b) Assume the crate slips in the bed of the truck as the truck is accelerating. Write an expression for the maximum possible acceleration of the truck so that its tires don't slip. The picture is a hint that they providedarrow_forwardA metal cannonball of mass m rests next to a tree at the very edge of a cliff 36.0 m above the surface of the ocean. In an effort to knock the cannonball off the cliff, some children tie one end of a rope around a stone of mass 80.0 kg and the other end to a tree limb just above the cannonball. They tighten the rope so that the stone just clears the ground and hangs next to the cannonball. The children manage to swing the stone back until it is held at rest 1.80 m above the ground. The children release the stone, which then swings down and makes a head-on, elastic collision with the cannonball, projecting it horizontally off the cliff. The cannonball lands in the ocean a horizontal distance R away from its initial position. (a) Find the horizontal component R of the cannonball’s displacement as it depends on m. (b) What is the maximum possible value for R, and (c) to what value of m does it correspond?

The rod is initially at rest in its equilibrium position when a ball of play dough, of mass mb, strikes the rod at its lower end and remains stuck to the rod. The sticky ball is thrown with an initial speed v0 at a 60 degree angle from the horizontal direction, and strikes the rod when it reaches the top of its trajectory, as shown in Fig.4. The acceleration due to gravity has magnitude g and air resistance is negligible. a. Determine the velocity of the ball of play dough right before it sticks to the rod. Use the x- y coordinate system defined in Fig.4. b. Determine the angular velocity of the rod+ball system right after the collision. Take counterclockwise as positive. c. - Establish the differential equation satisfied by the rod+ball system after the collision and determine the angular frequency of the system. You may assume that the small…arrow_forward
- Two rigid bodies, A and B, both 1 kg in mass, are connected by a linear spring with a spring constant of 0.2 N/m. Initially, the spring is unstretched and the bodies are at rest. If multiple forces and moments are applied to the two bodies that result in the speed of body A increasing to 10 m/s, the speed of body B increasing to 4 m/s, and the stretch of the spring increasing by 10 m, then -20 Nm of work was done by the spring on the body A, B system.
