The tension is growing!Context
At your summer job, your supervisor wants to test your physics skills. A new winch (a cable driven by a motor) is to be used to hoist loads up an inclined ramp. Your supervisor is worried about the packages arriving too quickly at the top of the ramp.
Constraints
The inclined ramp is made up of small cylinders that are free to rotate: there is no friction between the ramp and the load.The angle theta of the ramp from the horizontal is known.The winch cable exerts a known force.The cable is oriented at an angle a from the horizontal.The charge, initially immobile, has a known mass.The length of the ramp is known.
Schematization
Draw a diagram of the object that interests us. Draw your x and y axes. Draw and name each force experienced by the object that interests us.
Modelization
Build a model to calculate the final speed of the load as it arrives at the top of the ramp, given the known parameters. Then test your model with the following values:

Two small cylindrical plastic containers with flat bottoms are placed on a turntable that has a smooth flat surface. Canister A is empty; canister B is full. Each canister is the same distance r from the center. The coefficient of static friction between the canisters and the turntable is µs. The speed of the turntable is gradually increased. Describe what will happen. Include which container will fall off first or if they will fall off at the same time.
In the Atwood machine shown below, ml = 2.00-kg and m2 = 5.60-kg. The masses
of the pulley and string are negligible by comparison. The pulley turns without
friction and the string does not stretch. The lighter object is released with a sharp
push that sets it into motion at vi = 2.15 m/s downward. How long will it take for
mị to reach the lowest level?

- A 3500 kg flatbed truck is carrying an unsecured 400 kg box of wine glasses. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the truck bed is Usb=0.50, the coefficient of rolling friction between the truck's tires and the road is Urt=0.03. The truck comes to an unbanked curve in the road having a 40m radius. What is the maximum speed with which the truck can take the curve without damaging the wine glasses? Note that in order for the wine glasses to not be damaged, the box they're in should not slide on the truck bed and the truck itself should not slide on the road while taking the curve.arrow_forwardIn the Atwood machine shown below, m, = 2.00 kg and m2 = 5.60 kg.

They have to bring down a couple bags of cattle feed from the 2nd floor of their barn, to the bottom. To do this they will use a disc pulley to lower the two bags of cattle feed down. As a counter weight, they will use their friend Stewart. Stewart will start on the ground with the rope attached to him, and since Stewart has a lower mass than the two bags of cattle feed, when they put the cattle feed over the edge on the 2nd floor, the cattle feed will fall down, and Stewart will be raised up. Using the givens below, calculate how fast the bags of cattle feed will be falling the instant before they hit the ground. Mass of Stewart: 55 Kg Mass of the two bags of cattle feed: 70 Kg Height of the 2nd floor of the barn: 2.5m Radius of the disc pulley: 0.75m Mass of the disc pulley: 4 kg Acceleration of Gravity: 10arrow_forward
