GO Figure 5-57 shows a section of a cable-car system. The maximum permissible mass of each car with occupants is 2800 kg. The cars, riding on a support cable, are pulled by a second cable attached to the support tower on each car. Assume that the cables are taut and inclined at angle θ = 35°. What is the difference in tension between adjacent sections of pull cable if the cars are at the maximum permissible mass and are being accelerated up the incline at 0.81 m/s2?

- A bag of cement weighing 325 N hangs in equilibrium from three wires as suggested in Figure P4.23. Two of the wires make angles 1 = 60.0 and 2 = 40.0 with the horizontal. Assuming the system is in equilibrium, find the tensions T1, T2, and T3 in the wires. Figure P4.23 Problems 23 and 24.arrow_forwardThe figure shows a section of a cable-car system. The maximum permissible mass of each car with occupants is 2200 kg. The cars, riding on a support cable, are pulled by a second cable attached to the support tower on each car. Assume that the cables are taut and inclined at angle 0 = 39º. What is the difference in tension between adjacent sections of pull cable if the cars are at the maximum permissible mass and are being accelerated up the incline at 0.85 m/s²?

- A force F is applied to an 22 kg block against the wall at an angle of θ=45°. The friction coefficient between the wall and the block is 0.3. If the block is observed to accelerate upward at 1.0 m/s/s, determine the magnitude of the force F.arrow_forwardA man has to push his boat on the shore across the mud to get to the water. The coefficient of friction between the boat and the mud is given by μ = 0.400. If the boat has a mass of 40 kg, calculate the magnitude of the force of friction acting on the boat.arrow_forwardA block is placed on a wooden plank, which is initially horizontal. One end of the plank is slowly raised to make it more and more inclined, and for a while the block stays in place on the plank and doesn't slide due to static friction. Finally, when the plank reaches an incline of 56.3oabove horizontal, the block begins to slide. What is the coefficient of static friction between the block and the plank?arrow_forward
- A heavy, rough crate sits on an inclined plane. The weight of the crate is 60N. The plane is inclined 37° from the horizontal, and the coefficient of friction between plane and crate is mk = 0.80. Find the minimum “push” force needed to keep the crate moving up the plane.arrow_forwardA body lies on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between the body and the surface is k. Determine the angle α, at which the force acting to the body and causing its movement is the least.arrow_forwardA crate of mass m = 91 kg rests on a rough surface inclined at an angle of θ = 31° with the horizontal. A massless rope to which a force can be applied parallel to the surface is attached to the crate and leads to the top of the incline. In its present state, there is no tension in the rope and the crate is just ready to slip and start to move down the plane. The coefficient of kinetic friction is given by μk=fμs where μs refers to the coefficient of static friction and f = 0.75 a) With a slightly greater applied force than what is found to be the maximum force the rope can exert parallel to the surface of the plane before the crate begins to move, the crate will slide up the plane. Write an equation for the acceleration of the crate when it begins to slide upwards. Give your equation in terms of variables from the problem statement together with g for acceleration due to gravity and μs for the coefficient of static friction. b) After the crate begins to move, we reduce the force on…arrow_forward
- A 15-pound box sits at rest on a horizontal surface, and there is friction between the box and the surface. One side of the surface is raised slowly to create a ramp. The friction force f opposes the direction of motion and is proportional to the normal force F exerted by the surface on the box. The proportionality constant is called the coefficient of friction, u. When the angle of the ramp. 0, reaches 25°, the box begins to slide. Find the value of u 15 pounds The value of u is (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to two decimal places as needed.)arrow_forwardA wedge with mass M rests on a frictionless, horizontal tabletop. A block with mass m is placed on the wedge, and a horizontal force F S is applied to the wedge (Fig.). What must the magnitude of F S be if the block is to remain at a constant height above the tabletop?arrow_forwardIn the first figure here, a sled is held on an inclined plane by a cord pulling directly up the plane. The sled is to be on the verge of moving up the plane. In the second figure, the magnitude F required of the cord's force on the sled is plotted versus the coefficient of static friction u, between sled and plane: F1 = 1.69 N, F2 = 5.38 N, and µ2 = 0.543.
