Answer to Problem 74QAP

The value of M1=10.0kg for which the two blocks are in equilibrium (no acceleration)

Explanation of Solution

Given data:

  M2=20.0kg

  θ=30.0

Formula Used:

Newton's second law:

  Fnet=m×a

  M(Mass)=T(Force)g(acceleration)

Calculation:

  FlipIt for College Physics (Algebra Version - Six Months Access), Chapter 4, Problem 74QAP , additional homework tip  1

We'll use two different but related coordinate systems for the two blocks. For block M1, positive y will point upward. For block M2, the axes will be parallel and perpendicular to the inclined plane, where down the ramp and out of the ramp are positive.

We can draw free-body diagrams and apply Newton's second law in component form for both blocks.

The tension acting on each block will be identical in magnitude.

Since block M2 does not leave the plane, the acceleration in the perpendicular direction is always zero.

Since, both blocks are at rest, which means the acceleration of each block is zero and we can calculate M1 in this case.

The magnitude of acceleration of two blocks 1.96m/s2.

Explanation of Solution

Given data:

  M1=5.0kg

  M2=20.0kg

  θ=30.0

Formula Used:

We'll use two different but related coordinate systems for the two blocks. For block M1, positive y will point upward. For block M2, the axes will be parallel and perpendicular to the inclined plane, where down the ramp and out of the ramp are positive.

We can draw free-body diagrams and apply Newton's second law in component form for both blocks.

The tension acting on each block will be identical in magnitude.

Since block M2 does not leave the plane, the acceleration in the perpendicular direction is always zero.

Since, M1=5.00kg, so we can plug this into Newton's second law and calculate the acceleration of the blocks.

The magnitude of the acceleration will be the same for each block because they are joined together with a string.

Conclusion:

If the system can move the magnitude of acceleration of two blocks is 1.96m/s2

We can draw free-body diagrams and apply Newton's second law in component form for both blocks.

The tension acting on each block will be identical in magnitude.

Since block M2 does not leave the plane, the acceleration in the perpendicular direction is always zero.

Since, M1=5.00kg, so we can plug this into Newton's second law and calculate the acceleration of the blocks. The magnitude of the acceleration will be the same for each block because they are tethered together with a string.

Newton's second law for M2 :

  Fext,parallel=T+wM2,parallel=(M1(g+a))+M2gsin(30.0)=M2aparallel=M2a=>a=(M2sin(30.0)M1)gM1+M2=((20.0kg)sin(30.0)(5.0kg))(9.80m/s2)(20.0kg)+(5.0kg)=1.96m/s2

Since a=1.96m/s2 is positive, M2 moves down the ramp.

Conclusion:

As we have value of a as positive, so, M2 moves down the ramp.

Since block M2 does not leave the plane, the acceleration in the perpendicular direction is always zero.

Since, M1=5.00kg, so we can plug this into Newton's second law and calculate the acceleration of the blocks. The magnitude of the acceleration will be the same for each block because they are tethered together with a string.

If the acceleration is constant, we can use the constant acceleration equations to calculate how far M2 travels starting from rest.
