Phys 135 A Hw 5 Note : Q is for Question, P for Problem, and they are from Giancoli 6th^ Edition Chapter 4 and 5 Chapter 4: 1 - P31- (II) Figure 4–49 shows a block (^ mass^ m^1^ ) on a smooth horizontal surface, connected by a thin cord that passes over a pulley to a second block (^ m^^2 ),which hangs vertically. ( a ) Draw a free-body diagram for each block, showing the force of gravity on each, the force (tension) exerted by the cord, and any normal force. ( b ) Apply Newton’s second law to find formulas for the acceleration of the system and for the tension in the cord. Ignore friction and the masses of the pulley and cord. 2 - 48 - (II) Two crates, of mass 75 kg and 110 kg, are in contact and at rest on a horizontal surface (Fig. 4–54). A 6 20 - N force is exerted on the 75-kg crate. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.15, calculate ( a ) the acceleration of the system, and ( b ) the force that each crate exerts on the other. ( c ) Repeat with the crates reversed.Q7. Why might your foot hurt if you kick a heavy desk or a wall? 3 - P55- (II) An 18.0-kg box is released on a 37.0º incline and accelerates down the incline
2 Find the friction force impeding its motion. How large is the coefficient of kinetic friction? 4 - P 76 - A 28.0-kg block is connected to an empty 1.35-kg bucket by a cord running over a frictionless pulley (Fig. 4–59). The coefficient of static friction between the table and the block is 0.450 and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the table and the block is 0.320. Sand is gradually added to the bucket until the system just begins to move. ( a ) Calculate the mass of sand added to the bucket. ( b ) Calculate the acceleration of the system.
5 - P 78 - ( a ) What minimum force F is needed to lift the piano (mass M ) using the pulley apparatus shown in Fig. 4–60? ( b ) Determine the tension in each section of rope: FT1, FT2, FT3, and FT4. Chapter 5: 6 - P19- When will your apparent weight be the greatest, as measured by a scale in a moving elevator: when the elevator ( a ) accelerates downward, ( b ) accelerates upward, ( c ) is in free fall, ( d ) moves upward at constant speed? In which case would your weight be the least? When would it be the same as when you are on the ground? 7 - P53- (II) What will a spring scale read for the weight of a 55-kg woman in an elevator
acceleration 0.33 g , and ( e ) in free fall?
