6.  A 64.0-kg person stands on a diving board supported by two pillars, one at the end of the board, the other 1.10-m away. The pillar at the end of the board exerts a downward force of 828 N. The board has a length of 3.00 m and a mass of 10.0 kg.

    1. How far from that pillar is the person standing?

 

 

 

tN2= 0

tN1 = + (828 N)(1.10 m) = 911 Nm

tMg = - (64.0 kg)(9.80 m/s2)(x)

tmg = - (10.0 kg)(9.80 m/s2)(0.400 m) = -39.2 Nm

St = 0

- (64.0 kg)(9.80 m/s2)(x) + 911 Nm – 39.2 Nm= 0          x = 1.39 m

                                                                          = 1.39 m (from the second pillar or 2.49 m from the first)

  1. Find the force exerted by the second pillar. 

 

(M g)x = M g cos (- 90o) = 0

(M g)y = M g sin (- 90o) = - (64kg) (9.80 m/s2) = - 627 N

 

(m g)x = m g cos (- 90o) = 0

(m g)y = m g sin (- 90o) = - (10.0kg) (9.80 m/s2) = - 98.0 N

 

 (N1)x =  N1 cos (-90o) = 0

(N1)y =  N1 sin (-90o) = - 828 N

 

(N2)x =  N2 cos (90o) = 0

(N2)y =  N2 sin (90o) = N2

 

SFx = 0

SFy = 0                     - 828 N - 627 N – 98.0 N + N2  = 0    N2 = 1553 N

 

 

 

7.A 500 g mass is undergoing simple harmonic oscillation that is described by the following equation for its position x(t)   from the equilibrium:

 

                             x(t) = (0.500 m) cos{ (6.00 p rad/s) t + (p rad)/6.00}

 

a.      What is the amplitude A of the oscillations?

A = 0.500 m

 

b.     What is the angular w frequency of the oscillations?

 

w = 6.00 p rad/s

 

c.      What is the frequency f of the oscillations?

f = w/2p = (6.00 p rad/s)/(2 p rad) = 3.00 Hz

 

d.     What is the period T of the oscillations?

T = 1/f = 0.333 s

 

 

e.      What is the fall…(oops!) spring constant k?

 

k/m =  w2              k = m w2  = (0.500 kg)(6.00 p rad/s )2 = 178 N/m

 

 

f.       What is the position of the oscillator when t = 0 s?

                      

      x(t) = (0.500 m) cos{(p rad)/6.00} = 0.433 m

 

 

 

g.      At what time t > 0 is the oscillator first at maximum distance from the equilibrium?

 

cos{ (6.00 p rad/s) t + (p rad)/6.00} = 1

 

(6.00 p rad/s) t + (p rad)/6.00 = 2 p n

 

n = 1    t = 0.305 s (That corresponds actually to x = A, find the time for x = -A)

 

 

h.      What is the maximum speed of the oscillator?

 

Vmax = w A = (6.00 p rad/s) (0.500 m) = 9.42 m/s

 

 

i.       What is the magnitude of the maximum acceleration of the oscillator?

 

amax = w2 A = (6.00 p rad/s)2 (0.500 m) = 178 m/s

 

 

 

9. A girl of mass 30.0 kg, initially running tangentially at a speed of 5.00 m/s, jumps onto a disc-shaped merry-go-round initially at rest as shown below. The mass of merry-go-round is 100 kg and its radius is 1.50 m. (Oh well, the moment of inertia of a solid disk is I =1/2 mR2).

  1. Find the angular speed of the merry-go-round after the girl jumps on.

 

Li  = LG  = m v R

Lf = LG/MGR  = IG/MGR w = (mR2 + ˝ MR2) w

 

Li  = Lf 

 

m v R = (mR2 + ˝ MR2) w

 

w = (m v R)/ (mR2 + ˝ MR2)

 

w = 1.25 rad/s

 

 

  1. What is the change in kinetic energy of the girl-merry-go-round system?

 

Ki  = KG  = ˝ m v2 = 375 J

 

Kf = KG/MGR  = ˝ IG/MGR w2 = ˝ (mR2 + ˝ MR2) w2 = 141 J

 

Change in K = - 234 J

 

  1. How would you account for this change? 

 

Kinetic energy was lost during the collision.

 

 

9. A particle moving in a circle of radius 2.00 m begins at rest when t = 0 s and attains speed of 10.0 m/s at the end of one revolution with a constant angular acceleration. Mass of the particle is 1.00 kg.

 

  1. Determine the angular speed after one revolution.

 

wf = Vf /R = 5.00 rad/s             

 

 

 

  1. Determine the magnitude of angular acceleration and the time it takes to complete the first revolution.

 

wf2 = wi2 + 2 a (qf - qi)                           qf - qi = 2 p

 

a = ( wf2 - wi2 )/ (2(qf - qi)) =   2.00 rad/s2             

 

  1. How much work was done on the particle during that time?

 

W = KfKi = ˝ m V2 = 50.0 J
