Review. A piece of putty is initially located at point A on the rim of a grinding wheel rotating at constant angular speed about a horizontal axis. The putty is dislodged from point A when the diameter through A is horizontal. It then rises vertically and returns to A at the instant the wheel completes one revolution. From this information, we wish to find the speed v of the putty when it leaves the wheel and the force holding it to the wheel. (a) What analysis model is appropriate for the motion of the putty as it rises and falls? (b) Use this model to find a symbolic expression for the time interval between when the putty leaves point A and when it arrives back at A, in terms of v and g. (c) What is the appropriate analysis model to describe point A on the wheel? (d) Find the period of the motion of point A in terms of the tangential speed v and the radius R of the wheel. (e) Set the time interval from part (b) equal to the period from part (d) and solve for the speed v of the putty as it leaves the wheel. (f) If the mass of the putty is m, what is the magnitude of the force that held it to the wheel before it was released?

- A small particle of mass m is pulled to the top of a friction less half-cylinder (of radius R) by a light cord that passes over the top of the cylinder as illustrated in Figure P7.15. (a) Assuming the particle moves at a constant speed, show that F = mg cos . Note: If the particle moves at constant speed, the component of its acceleration tangent to the cylinder must be zero at all times. (b) By directly integrating W=Fdr, find the work done in moving the particle at constant speed from the bottom to the top of the hall-cylinder. Figure P7.15arrow_forwardA uniform thin rod of length 0.6 m and mass 6.00 kg is suspended freely from one end. It is pulled to the side an angle 60 degrees and released. If friction can be ignored, what is the speed of its free end (in m/s), at the lowest point? (Could you please explain what equation I can use to find it at it's lowest point as well as a step by step formula on how to fingure out this equation. Thank you, no rush).arrow_forwardA porter governor, its central load is 18 kg and the weight of each ball is 2 kg. The top arms are 25 cm while the bottom arms are each 30 cm long and all arms pivoted on the axis of rotation. The friction of the sleeve is 14 N. If the top arms make 45 ° with the axis of rotation in equilibrium position, find the speed of the governor at that position.arrow_forward
- The figure below shows a block of mass 0.5 kg moving on the inside surface of a vertical circular track of radius R = 1 m. The block has a speed vB = when it is at point B at the bottom of the circular track. The track is not smooth and a force of kinetic friction 12 m/s of magnitude 7.0 N acts on the block while it slides around the track. The frictional force on the block is always tangent to the track. Find the speed of the block when it is at point T at the top of the track. (Hint: the circumference of the circular track is 2nR.) T R® Barrow_forwardA group of engineering students constructs a sun-powered car and tests on a circular track of 300-meter radius. The car with a mass of 210 kg including the passenger and the driver, starts from rest. The total tangential components of force on the car is EF, = 125 – 2.50D, where D is the distance the car travels along the track from the point where it starts. a. When D=30m, compute the work done by the car. b. When D=30m, compute for its velocity. c. What is the magnitude of the total horizontal force exerted on the car by the road when the car travels D=30m?arrow_forwardA mass m = 0.55 kg is pushed against a spring with spring constant k and held in place with a catch. The spring compresses a distance x = 0.22 m. When the catch is removed, the mass leaves the spring and slides along a frictionless circular loop of radius R = 0.20 m. When the mass reaches the top of the loop, the normal force is equal to three times the weight of the mass. (a) What is the velocity of the mass at point A? (b) What are the magnitude and direction of the net force at point A?arrow_forward

- A skier starts from rest at the top of a hill. The skier coasts down the hill and up a second hill, as the drawing illustrates. The crest of the second hill is circular, with a radius of 37.3 m. Neglect friction and air resistance. What must be the height h of the first hill so that the skier just loses contact with the snow at the crest of the second hill? Number Unitsarrow_forwardGreek engineers had the unenviable task of moving large columns from the quarries to the city. One engineer, Chersiphron, tried several different techniques to do this. One method was to cut pivot holes into the ends of the stone and then use oxen to pull the column. The 4ft diameter column weighs 12000lb, and the team of oxen generates a constant pull force of 1500lb on the center of the cylinder G. Knowing that the column starts from rest and rolls without slipping, determine the velocity of its center G after it has moved 5ft and the minimum static coefficient of friction that will keep it from slipping.arrow_forwardThe puck in the figure below has a mass of 0.120 kg.
