OpenStudy (aravindg):

pls post the ansers as a doc

OpenStudy (aravindg):

i will be online tmmrw this time can u giv answers thn??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solution to Q5: the net force acting on the body will b the vector sum of all the forces acting on the body and this will provide the necessary acceleration for the body F=ma a=F/m \[F=\sqrt{6^{2}+8^{2}}\] i.e. F=10N this implies a=10/2 \[a=5ms ^{-2}\] along \[\tan^{-1} 3/4\]

OpenStudy (phi):

q1 to q15, q1 at the end.

OpenStudy (aravindg):

thanks a lot phi!!!!

OpenStudy (aravindg):

u are the BEST

OpenStudy (phi):

Some comments on my post: sometimes I did not label the units. This is a bad habit. Sometimes I mis-label acceleration m/s, when it should be m/s^2 In some of the problems I found force = g, These should be written as 9.8 N, because g is generally understood to be an acceleration. The last line of answer 1 has an extra dt in it. It should read dp/dt= mass*dv/dt s= 1575 kg/s * 1000 m/36 s = 43750 kg-m/s^2= 43750 N where mass = dt *1575 kg

OpenStudy (aravindg):

:) the effort u hav taken. i can neglect the mistake lol.. by the by u drm MIT??

OpenStudy (aravindg):

phi??

OpenStudy (phi):

If you want to solve these problems quickly, note that most can be categorized into 2 types. Q 2,3,5,9,10,11,12,13 Find the net force on the system (all the masses together) Use the system's net force to find the system's acceleration: a_sys= F/M For an individual block, find its net force: F_block = m_block*a_sys Use the equation F_left+F_right= F_block to find e.g. tension NOTE: the pulleys in these problems are a distraction. change the problem to a simple horizontal line of blocks tied together by a rope. Use sign conventions: + is to the right, - is to the left. (Tension is both) Force parallel to a slope is m g sin(theta) where theta is the slope Force normal to a slope is m g cos(theta) Q4,6,7,10,14,15 Friction problems Find the force Fn normal to the surface Find the force Fp parallel to the surface (sometimes) Friction= mu*Fn (this is a max force. friction acts against a force f (= to f), up to this max) use F_net+F_right+F_left= 0 where F_net is the net force on a block: F_net= mass_block*a_block Q6 was more complicated. Q1 did not fit into either of the above categories.

OpenStudy (aravindg):

:) wel one thing pal the tension in 2nd qn was not 33

OpenStudy (phi):

what was it?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

1300/3

OpenStudy (aravindg):

phi??

OpenStudy (phi):

I'm thinking about that. Can you show the work?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

k come here http://www.twiddla.com/671181

OpenStudy (phi):

Fixed up Q2. I noticed that was the first one I did. I got better as I went along.

OpenStudy (phi):

Here's the energy/work problem

OpenStudy (aravindg):

is there crction on any othr question than 2??

OpenStudy (phi):

Don't you have the answers?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

wel not of every qns

OpenStudy (phi):

I didn't find any, but you never know.

OpenStudy (aravindg):

hey check out that ratio qn?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

u got 5 in that i think its 1:1

OpenStudy (phi):

Q7. It asks for the ratio of the powers needed in the above cases. I obviously found the ratio of the forces.

OpenStudy (phi):

I'm not sure what they meant by powers.

OpenStudy (phi):

P= Force * distance ? rings a bell.

OpenStudy (phi):

or Power = force*distance/time ??

OpenStudy (aravindg):

2nd one

OpenStudy (aravindg):

f*d/t

OpenStudy (phi):

The question states "moves with the same speed" so d/t is the same for both. so it comes to the ratio of the forces. If so, that is not 1/1 Any other ideas?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

it is 1:1 i suppose

OpenStudy (phi):

It's obvious the force need to move up hill is greater than to move down hill.

OpenStudy (aravindg):

next qn???

OpenStudy (phi):

What is it?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

OpenStudy (phi):

Can you repost as a separate question. This one is way too long

OpenStudy (aravindg):
