A bolt is threaded onto one end of a thin horizontal rod, and the rod is then rotated horizontally about its other end. An engineer monitors the motion by flashing a strobe lamp onto the rod and bolt, adjusting the strobe rate until the bolt appears to be in the same eight places during each full rotation of the rod (Fig. 6-42). The strobe rate is2000flashes per second; the bolt has mass30gand is at radius3.5cm. What is the magnitude of the force on the bolt from the rod?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude of the force is 2.6×103 N.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

  • Mass of bolt,m=30.0g .
  • Radius,r=3.5cm
  • Strobe rate,2000flashespersecond.
02

To understand the concept

The problem deals with the centripetal force. It is a force that makes a body follow a curved path.From the given information, the time period can be calculated. The force on the bolt from the rod is the centripetal force which can be calculated using its formula.

Formula:

Centripetal force is given by,

F=mv2r

03

Calculate the centripetal force 

We note that the periodTis eight times the time between flashes12000 s.

So T=0.0040s.

We know that,

T=2πrv

Also, centripetal force is given by,

F=mv2r

Combining the above two equations leads to,

F=42RT2

Substitute the values in the above equation, and we get,

F=4(0.030 kg)π2(0.035 m)(0.0040 s)2F=2.6×103 N

Thus, the magnitude of the force is 2.6×103 N.

In Fig. 6-15, a horizontal force of 100Nis to be applied to a 10kg slab that is initially stationary on a frictionless floor, to accelerate the slab. A 10kg block lies on top of the slab; the coefficient of friction μbetween the block and the slab is not known, and the block might slip. In fact, the contact between the block and the slab might even be frictionless. (a) Considering that possibility, what is the possible range of values for the magnitude of the slab’s accelerationlocalid="1657173176346" aslab? (Hint:You don’t need written calculations; just consider extreme values for m.) (b) What is the possible range for the magnitudelocalid="1657173167508" ablockof the block’s acceleration?

In Fig. 6-33, two blocks are connected over a pulley. The mass of block A is10kg , and the coefficient of kinetic friction between A and the incline is 0.20 . Angle θ of the incline is 30° . Block A slides down the incline at constant speed. What is the mass of block B? Assume the connecting rope has negligible mass. (The pulley’s function is only to redirect the rope)

A 68kgcrate is dragged across a floor by pulling on a rope attached to the crate and inclined 15°above the horizontal. (a) If the coefficient of static friction is 0.50, what minimum force magnitude is required from the rope to start the crate moving? (b) If μk=0.35 , what is the magnitude of the initial acceleration of the crate?

In about 1915, Henry Sincosky of Philadelphia suspended himself from a rafter by gripping the rafter with the thumb of each hand on one side and the fingers on the opposite side (Fig. 6-21). Sincosky’s mass was 79kg. If the coefficient of static friction between hand and rafter was 0.70, what was the least magnitude of the normal force on the rafter from each thumb or opposite fingers? (After suspending himself, Sincosky chinned himself on the rafter and then moved hand-over-hand along the rafter. If you do not think Sincosky’s grip was remarkable, try to repeat his stunt)

Reconsider Question 6 but with the force fnow directed down the ramp. As the magnitude of fis increased from zero, what happens to the direction and magnitude of the frictional force on the block?
