Dynamics

1. What acceleration must the cart shown below have in order that the block A will not fall?
The coefficient of static friction between the block and the cart is s. How would the
behavior of the block be described by an observer on the cart?

2. A truck is moving with constant acceleration a up a hill that makes an angle ф with the
horizontal. A small sphere of mass m is suspended from the ceiling of the truck by a light
cord. If the pendulum makes a constant angle Ѳ with the perpendicular to the ceiling, find a.
3. Two blocks with masses of 4 kg and 8 kg, respectively are connected by a sting and slide
down a 30° inclined plane as shown below. The coefficient of sliding friction between the
the 4 kg block and the plane is 0.25 and bewteen the 8 kg block and the plane is 0.50.
(a) Calculate the acceleration of each block.

(b) Calculate the tension in the string. 8 kg

4. You are at the airport waiting for your bags. Your bag has not slid all the way down the
carousel as shown below and is no longer moving up or down. Your bag on the carousel is
rotating at a constant speed in a circle with a radius of 12m. The coefficient of static friction
between the bag and the carousel is 0.76 and the angle shown is 36 degrees. How much time
does it take for your bag to go around the carousel once?

5. A satellite is in a polar orbit (it passes directly above the North and South poles in its orbit).
Find the height above the surface of the earth of this satellite if it passes above each pole
twice a day.
6. The 4-kg block is attached to vertical rod by means of two strings. When the system rotates
about the axis of the rod, the strings are extended as shown in the diagram.
(a) How many revolutions per minute must the system make for the
tension in the upper string to be 60 N?

(b) What is the tension in the lower string in this case?

7. A bead can slide without friction on a circular hoop of radius 0.1 m in a


vertical plane. The hoop rotates at a constant rate of 2 rev/sec about a
vertical diameter, as shown above. 0.1m
(a) Find the angle  at which the bead is in vertical equilibrium. (Of course,
it has a radial acceleration toward the axis.) 
8. A block of mass 2.20 kg is accelerated across a rough surface by a light cord passing over a
small pulley. The tension T in the cord is maintained at 10.0 N, and the pulley is 0.100 m
above the top of the block. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.400.
a. Determine the acceleration of the block when x = 0.400 m.

b. Describe the general behavior of the acceleration as the block slides from a
location where x is large to x = 0.

c. Find the maximum value of the acceleration and the position x for which it
occurs.

d. Find the value of x for which the acceleration is zero.
