Solving force problems • CAPA due Tuesday night. • Exam solutions posted on D2L • Exam scores will be posted either tonight or Monday night. • Today will be multiple body problems and the dynamics of circular motion. 1 Pulleys Until we get to Chapter 10, all of our pulleys will be ideal pulleys which are massless and frictionless. An ideal pulley simply changes the direction of the tension force in the rope which goes around the pulley. 2 Statics problem A massless rope is looped over a pulley with one end connected to a 30 kg box and the other end held by a person. What force must the person exert to keep the box stationary? 30 kg . Free body diagram for the box T FG = mg Fnet,y = T − mg = 0 T = mg In a massless rope the tension is the same everywhere! Free body diagram for the hand T Fhand Fnet,y = T − Fhand = 0 Fhand = T = mg Fhand = 30 kg ⋅ 9.8 m/s2 = 290 N 3 Statics problem What is the magnitude of the force exerted by the rod holding the pulley to the ceiling? 30 kg . Free body Frod diagram for the T T pulley Fnet,y = Frod − 2T = 0 from the last problem we know T = mg Frod = 2T = 2mg = 2 ⋅ 30 kg ⋅ 9.8 m/s2 = 590 N This is the force on the ceiling 4 Clicker question 1 Set frequency to BA The person holding the rope steps back a few feet. What is the magnitude of the force exerted by the rod on the ceiling now (note the angle)? 30 kg . Pulley free body diagram A. Frod = 2mg B. mg ≤ Frod < 2mg C. Frod < mg D. Frod > 2mg E. Impossible to tell Frod T T Frod < 2T and T=mg. Given the angles, we could calculate Frod. 5 Clicker question 2 Set frequency to BA An Atwood's machine is a pulley with two masses connected by a string as shown. The mass of object A, mA, is twice the mass of object B, mB. The tension T in the string is... A. T = mA g B. T = mB g C. Neither of these A TA A net,y A A y F = T − mA g = m a FG = mA g B TB A B B Fnet,y = T − mB g = mB ayB FG = mB g Since the weights are unequal, it should be clear that there will be some non-zero acceleration. Thus, since mAa yA and mB a yB are not zero, neither A nor B can be correct. 6 Full solution to Atwood’s machine A TA T − mA g = m a B A A y TB T − mB g = mB a yB FG = mB g FG = mA g A B We defined up as positive for both masses which means a yA = −a yB T = mA g − mAa yB & T = mB g + mB a yB give mA g − mAa yB = mB g + mB a yB mA − mB g Solving for acceleration: a = mA + mB B y B B y T = mB g + m a so the tension is m A + mB m A − mB 2mA mB = mB g + mB g = g m A + mB m A + mB mA + m7B Remember circular motion What is the acceleration for circular motion with varying speed? Can divide acceleration vector into two parts ! v2 arad ! ! a v1 atan Tangential acceleration is related to change in speed and is parallel to the d v! velocity vector with magnitude atan = dt Radial acceleration is perpendicular to the velocity vector 2 v and points to the inside of the curve with magnitude arad = r ! 2 2 Since they are perpendicular: a = atan + arad We can consider the coordinate system as r,t rather than the more usual x,y. 8 What is the force? We know we need forces to cause acceleration. For each of these scenarios, what is the force which causes the radial acceleration? A car going around a corner on a level surface Friction between tires and pavement A car going around a banked curve Friction between tires and pavement and a component of the normal force Satellite orbiting the Earth Earth’s gravity 9 Vertical circular motion Consider a motorcycle doing a vertical loop. 10 Vertical loops What does the free body diagram look like at the bottom of the loop? n Let’s apply Newton’s 2nd law mg Adding the forces: Fnet,r = n − mg 2 2 v mv We will have radial acceleration arad = r so mar = r 2 mv 2 Therefore n − mg = mv Can also write n = mg + r r making it clear that n > mg The normal force is what you feel as weight which is why you feel heavier at the bottom of the roller coaster. 11 Clicker question 3 What is the free body diagram at the top? A. B. C. D. Let’s apply Newton’s 2nd law: 2 mv Therefore n + mg = r mv2 < mg What happens if r ? n mg E. Fnet,r = n + mg = marad 2 mv Can also write n = − mg r Can the normal force be negative? No. In this case, n=0 and there is more than radial acceleration; it is in free fall and follows a parabola. It falls off the loop. mv2 ≤ mg For r , n = 0 so you feel weightless. 12
