Chapter 5, Problem 5.102P
You are riding in a school bus. As the bus rounds a flat curve at constant speed, a lunch box with mass 0.500 kg, suspended from the ceiling of the bus by a string 1.80 m long, is found to hang at rest relative to the bus when the string makes an angle of 30.0° with the vertical. In this position the lunch box is 50.0 m from the curve’s center of curvature. What is the speed υ of the bus?

In deep space, an astronaut is whipping a heavy tool around in a circle by a
taut cable. The cable is 1 meter long (from the astronaut's fist to the tool),
and the tool makes a full trip around the circle in half a second as it moves
with constant speed. The mass of the tool is 10 kg. What is the tension in
the cable?
A m1 = 5.3 kg box is on a frictionless θ = 39∘ slope and is connected via a massless string over a massless, frictionless pulley to a hanging m2= 2.3 kg weight.
What is the tension in the string once the box begins to move?
An electric lamp of mass 0.8 kg is attached by an electric cable to the ceiling at
point A. The lamp is pulled to one side by a string tied to the ceiling at B.

- Two blocks are connected over a massless, frictionless pulley. Block m1 has a mass of 1.00 kg and block m2 has a mass of 0.400 kg. The angle θ of the incline is 30.0°. The coefficients of static friction and kinetic friction between block m1 and the incline are ?k = 0.400 and ?s = 0.500, respectively. What is the magnitude of the tension in the string?arrow_forwardA spider hangs from the junction formed by three strands of silk, as shown in the figure. The force of tension in each strand pulls at the junction. The net force at the junction is zero. In other words, the resultant of all three force vectors is zero at the junction. The gravitational force on the spider makes it exert a downward force of 0.15 N on the junction. The two sloping strands are perpendicular to each other. We have chosen the x and y axes to be along those strands as shown. The force of the right strand on the junction has magnitude Tx force of the left strand on the junction has unknown magnitude T,y. a) Calculate Ty. b) Calculate the angle between the x axis and the horizontal direction. Hint: The SI unit of force is the newton, which is abbreviated as N. You must consider three force vectors. The x components of all three vectors must add to zero, and the y components must also add to zero. Note that the coordinate system is "rotated" which is Tx Ty 0.127 Ν.
