Answer Problem 1 of Competence:
To solve this problem, we will follow these steps:
(A): Free-Body Diagram and Tension Analysis:
1. Free-body diagram:
Three forces:
T₁ with the horizontal 60° angle
T₂ with the horizontal 40° angle
W (object weight) vertically downwards
2. Tension comparison:
Rope with smaller angle (the vertical 40°) will carry larger share requiring a larger tension to
balance the weight. So, T₂ (right rope) will have greater tension than T₁ (the left rope).
(B): Maximum Hanging Weight Calculation:
The condition will be that no rope will surpass 5000 N Force in tension.
1. Equilibrium conditions:
- In the vertical direction,
∑ Vertical components of the tensions= Weight of the object
Answer Problem 2: Block Sliding Down a Ramp
A block slides down a frictionless plane with an inclination of 15°. The block starts from rest at
the top, and the length of the incline is 2.00 m.
Part (a): Free-Body Diagram:
Plane at a 15° angle shows the forces acting on the block, including the gravitational force, the
normal force, and the component of gravity along the incline.
Part (b): Find the Acceleration
For a block on a frictionless incline:
a=g sin (θ)
g=9.8 m/s
θ=15°
Putting values:
a =9.8×sin (15°)
Let me calculate this value.
a = 22.54m/s2.
Part C: Speed at the Bottom of the Incline
The kinematic equation:
v2=u2+2as
u=0m/s
a=2.54m/s2 (acceleration from part b).
s=2.00m (length of the incline).
v=√2as
v=√2×2.54m/s2×2.00m=10.16≈3.19m/s
Hence, block will reach a speed of approximately 3.19m/s when it reaches the bottom of the
incline.
