Problems

This document contains 7 problems related to units and dimensions and 6 problems related to work and kinetic energy. The units and dimensions problems involve calculating densities, masses, and radii given other properties. The work and kinetic energy problems involve calculating work done, power output, and energy consumed given forces, distances, masses, and times. Dimensional analysis is used to show equations for period of a pendulum and particle displacement are dimensionally correct.

Problems; units and dimensions

1. The standard kilogram is a platinum–iridium cylinder 39.0 mm in height and


39.0 mm in diameter. What is the density of the material?

2. How many grams of copper are required to make a hollow spherical shell having
an inner radius of 5.70 cm and an outer radius of 5.75 cm? The density of copper is
8.92 g/cm3.

3. What mass of a material with density is required to make a hollow spherical


shell having inner radius r1and outer radius r2?

5. Two spheres are cut from a certain uniform rock. One has radius 4.50 cm. The
mass of the other is five times greater. Find its radius

6. The displacement of a particle moving under uniform acceleration is some


function of the elapsed time and the acceleration. Suppose we write this
displacement s=kamtn, where k is a dimensionless constant. Show by dimensional
analysis that this expression is satisfied if m = 1 and n = 2. Can this analysis give
the value of k?

7. The period T of a simple pendulum is measured in time units and is described by


𝑇 = 2𝜋√𝐿/𝑔
where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the freefall acceleration in units of
length divided by the square of time. Show that this equation is dimensionally
correct.

Problems: Work and Kinetic Energy

1. How much work is done by a man that pushes a box 5 meters with a force of 12
Newtons forward?

2. What is the power output of the man that pushes the box 5 meters in 3 seconds
with a constant force of 12 N?

3. How much work would be done if 12N of force was applied on an object at an
angle of 25° above the horizon to move an object 5 meters horizontally? Find out
how much work is done by this force.

4. Calculate the work done by a force of 30 N in lifting a load of 2kg to a height of


10m (g = 10ms-2).

5. A particle moves along X- axis from x=0 to x=8 under the influence of a force
given by 𝐹 = 3 𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 + 5. Find the work done in the process.

(Ans:424J)

6. A 700 N marine in basic training climbs a 10.0 m vertical rope at a constant


speed of 8.00 s. What is his power output?

(Ans: 875W)

6. Calculate the energy consumed in electrical units when a 75 W fan is used for 8
hours daily for one month (30 days).

Solution
Power, P = 75 W
Time of usage, t = 8 hour × 30 days = 240 hours
Electrical energy consumed is the product of power and time of usage.
Electrical energy = power × time of usage = P × t

Problems: Properties of Matter

1- A 200-kg load is hung on a wire having a length of 4.00 m, cross-sectional area


0.2x10-4 m2, and Young’s modulus 8x1010 N/m2. What is its increase in length?

2- Assume that Young’s modulus is 1.5x1010 N/m2 for bone and that the bone will
fracture if stress greater than 1.5x108 N/m2 is imposed on it. (a) What is the
maximum force that can be exerted on the femur bone in the leg if it has a
minimum effective diameter of 2.50 cm? (b) If this much force is applied
compressively, by how much does the 25.0-cm-long bone shorten?

3- A steel wire of diameter 1 mm can support a tension of 0.2 kN. A cable to


support a tension of 20 kN should have diameter of what order of magnitude?

4- A child slides across a floor in a pair of rubber-soled shoes. The friction force
acting on each foot is 20.0 N. The footprint area of each shoe sole is 16.0 cm2, and
the thickness of each sole is 5.00 mm. Find the horizontal distance by which the
upper and lower surfaces of each sole are offset. The shear modulus of the rubber
is 5x106 N/m2

5- If the shear stress in steel exceeds 4x108 N/m2, the steel ruptures. Determine the
shearing force necessary to (a) shear a steel bolt 1.00 cm in diameter and (b) punch
a 1.00-cm-diameter hole in a steel plate 0.500 cm thick.
Solution:

b. The area over which the shear stress occurs is equal to the circumference of the
hole times its thickness.
