Example 9.9 Snow Tubing
At a winter recreation resort, snow tubers at the bottom of the hill hook their tubes to a tow rope. A motor pulls the rope so that tubers move at constant velocity to the top of the hill. (Ignore the momentary acceleration of the tuber when he first attaches his tube to the rope.) The coefficient of kinetic friction between the tube and the snow is μk = 0.16. A boy and his tube with a total weight of 415 N are pulled a distance of 255 m up the 18° incline (Fig. 9.29). Consider the Earth, the boy, his tube, and the snow along his path to make up the system. Find the energy transferred from the motor to the system via the work done by the rope.

The coefficient of kinetic friction between m1 (5kg) and the table is 0.20. We ignore the mass of the cord and pulley and any friction in the pulley, which means we can assume that a force applied to one end of the cord will have the same magnitude at the other end. We wish to find the acceleration, a, of the system, which will have the same magnitude for both boxes assuming the cord doesn't stretch. As m2 (2Kg) move down, mi move to the right.

- Learning Goal: To understand how to quantitatively determine whether a particle is in a state of mechanical equilibrium. As shown, three forces, F1, F2, and F3, act at the same point on an object. (Figure 2) The point of application is the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system. F1, which has a magnitude of F1 = 20.0 kN , is in the y-z plane and is described by an angle B1 = 34.0 degrees . F2 is in the x-z plane and is described by integer lengths of a similar right triangle; its magnitude is F2 = 25.0 kN. If the sum of the forces is equal to zero, what is the magnitude of F3? Express your answer numerically in kilonewtons to three significant figures. In statics, we make extensive use of Newton's first law, which states that a particle, initially at rest, or moving in a straight line with constant velocity, will remain in its current state unless the particle is subjected to an unbalanced force system. If the sum of the forces acting on a particle is zero, then it is in mechanical…arrow_forwardR Rod Block Bullet Problem 7: The puck in the figure above on the left has a mass of 0.120 kg. The distance of the puck from the center of rotation is originally 0.4 m, and the puck is sliding with a speed of v; = 0.8 m/sec. The string is pulled downward through the hole in the frictionless table and the new distance of the puck from the center of rotation is 0.25 m. What is the new speed of the puck? Answer: vf = 1.28 m/sec Problem 8: In the figure above on the right a 0.001 kg bullet with initial speed vi = 1800 m/sec is fired into a 0.5 kg block attached to the end of a 0.60 m rod of mass 0.50 kg. Point A is the pivot point for the rod and the bullet stays inside the block after the collision. What is the angular speed w of the system after the collision? The moment of inertia of the rod about point A is I = Me and the moment of a particle is I = mr?. Treat the block as a particle and also treat the bullet as a particle.
