Body A in Fig. 6-33 weighs 102 N, and body B weighs 32 N. The coefficients of friction between A and the incline are µs =0.56 and µk =0.25. Angle θ is 40. Let the positive direction of an x-axis be up the incline. In unit-vector notation, what is the acceleration of A if A is initially (a) at rest, (b) moving up the incline, and (c) moving down the incline.
Problem 4-40: In the design of couplers-the hook-
like linking mechanisms-between the cars of a train,
extreme situations are often considered to assess lim-
iting requirements. Suppose a locomotive of mass
30,000 kg pulls 80 cars each of mass 30,000 kg. At
an acceleration of 0.5 m/s², how much load is trans-
ferred by the coupler between the locomotive and the
first car: between the 79th and 80th cars?
In an investigation a student placed a 0.85 kg cart on a table. They tie one end of a light string (assume mstring= 0kg) to the front of a cart, passes it through a pulley and then onto a 0.50 kg hanging mass. Assume there is no friction.
Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the cart.
Determine the magnitude of the tension.
