Chapter 5 Tutorial Examples

1. A 3.50-kg object undergoes an acceleration given by 𝑎⃗ = 3.00𝑖̂ + 4.00𝑗̂ m/s 2.


Find
(a) the resultant force acting on the object and
(b) the magnitude of the resultant force.

2. Two forces, ⃗⃗⃗⃗


𝐹1 = (−5.00𝑖̂ − 3.00𝑗̂) and 𝐹 ⃗⃗⃗⃗2 = (−2.00𝑖̂ + 6.00𝑗̂), act on a particle of
mass 2.50 kg that is initially at rest at coordinates (-3.00 m, +4.00 m).
(a) What are the components of the particle’s velocity at t = 15.0 s?
(b) In what direction is the particle moving at t = 15.0 s?
(c) What displacement does the particle undergo during the first 15.0 s?
(d) What are the coordinates of the particle at t = 15.0 s?

3. Three forces acting on an object are given by , ⃗⃗⃗⃗ ⃗⃗⃗⃗2 =


𝐹1 = (−3.00𝑖̂ + 3.00𝑗̂) N, , 𝐹
(4.00𝑖̂ − 2.00𝑗̂) N and , ⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝐹3 = −25.0𝑖̂ N. The object experiences an acceleration of
magnitude 4.25 m/s2.
(a) What is the direction of the acceleration?
(b) What is the mass of the object?
(c) If the object is initially at rest, what is its speed after 12.0 s?
(d) What are the velocity components of the object after 12.0 s?

4. If a man weighs 1.62 kN on the Earth, what would he weigh on another planet, where
the free-fall acceleration is 20.5 m/s2?

5. A block, of mass 3.00 kg, slides down a frictionless plane having an inclination of
𝜃 = 30.0° . The block starts from rest at the top, and the length of the incline is
2.00 m.
(a) Draw a free-body diagram of the block.
Find
(b) the acceleration of the block
(c) its speed when it reaches the bottom of the incline.

6. A bag of sand whose weight is Fg


hangs in equilibrium from three cables,
as shown in in the adjacent sketch. Two of the
wires make angles 𝜃1 and 𝜃2 with the
horizontal. Assuming the system is in
equilibrium, show that the tension in the
left-hand cable is

𝐹𝑔 cos 𝜃1
𝑇2 =
sin(𝜃1 + 𝜃2 )
7. The distance between two electric poles is 70.0 m. When a 0.75-kg bird lands on the
electric cable midway between the poles, the cable sags 0.150 m.
(a) Draw a free-body diagram of the bird.
(b) How much tension does the bird produce in the wire? Ignore the weight of the
wire.

8. An object of mass 𝑚1 = 4.00 kg, placed


on a frictionless, horizontal table is M1
connected to a string that passes over a
frictionless pulley and then is fastened to a hanging object
of mass 𝑚2 = 8.00 kg as shown in the adjacent figure..
(a) Draw free-body diagrams of both
objects. M2
Find
(b) the magnitude of the acceleration
of the objects and
(c) the tension in the string.

9. Question 25 from the textbook.

10. Consider a large truck carrying a heavy load, such as steel beams. A significant
hazard for the driver is that the load may slide forward, crushing the cab, if the truck
stops suddenly in an accident or even in braking. Assume, for example, that a
12 000-kg load sits on the flatbed of a 24 000-kg truck moving at 15.0 m/s. Assume
that the load is not tied down to the truck, but has a coefficient of friction of 0.520
with the flatbed of the truck.
(a) Calculate the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide
forward relative to the truck.
(b) Is any piece of data unnecessary for the solution?
