Question 2.

Let x1 be the distance moved to the right by the 100 kg mass and x2 be the distance moved

down by the 300 kg mass. Let T be the tension in the rope.

Considering the amount of rope passing over the pulley from each side,

Integrating from x = 0 when t = 0:

tttx 0e962.10

)1e(962.1 ttx (*)

This is not invertible analytically. Instead, solve numerically to find t when x = 2 m.

There are many possible methods. Two such are given below.

Method 1: (repeated trial)

Denoting the RHS of (*) by f(t), we find

f(1) = 0.7218, f(2) = 2.228

x increases monotonically with t (as v is always positive) and so a solution to f(t) = 2 must lie

between t = 1 and t = 2. Homing in on a solution by repeated trial gives

t = 1.864 s

Method 2: (iteration)

When x = 2, one way of rearranging (*) is

tt e962.1

21

This can be iterated (use the [ANS] button on your calculator) from, e.g., t = 1, to give

t = 1.000, 1.651, 1.828, 1.859, 1.863, 1.864, 1.864, ...

Answer: 1.86 s.

Question 4.

(a) The tension throughout the cable is F. The mass is subject to force 2F upward (F from

each side of the loop of cable) and weight mg downward.

Taking x, v and a positive upward (though you are quite at liberty to adopt positive

downward if you prefer), “force = mass acceleration” gives (in kg-m-s units):

When t is 0, v = 0 and the acceleration is negative, which is actually enough to show that the

Integrating from the initial conditions (v = 0 when t = 0) to general (v, t):

)1(81.9 ttv

From its factors, v goes negative (i.e. downward motion) immediately after t = 0 and stays

negative until t = 1.

Note that downward motion continues until velocity v = 0, not the equilibrium point where

a = 0 or forces are in balance. At the latter time v is actually maximal!

Answer: downward motion until t = 1 s.

Question 7.

(a) At the limiting state (minimum coefficient of friction) the friction force F is maximal and

given by F = μR and exactly balances the horizontal hydrostatic pressure force on the front

wall of the dam.

If L is the length of the dam in metres then the mass of the dam is

Lm 5103

Answer: minimum coefficient of friction = 0.24.

(b) In reality, water will seep underneath the dam, producing upthrust and reducing R. The

coefficient of friction would then have to be higher to provide the same friction force. It is

useful to key the dam into the underlying bedrock, both to provide resistance to horizontal

motion and reduce the seepage underneath it.

Question 10.

and travels back from it at

1sm14207.0

Vertically, the ball’s motion is not changed by the wall (it is the component parallel to the

Question 16.

By trigonometry (see the diagram) the line of centres when the balls

collide obliquely is 30° from the original direction of motion. Adopt

new x and y coordinates along the tangent to the surfaces at collision

and along the lines of centres respectively. The second particle must

move off in the direction along the line of centres (v2x = 0).

Note that u1 = 6 m s–1

.

(b) Particle A is moving in a circle, so:

radial acceleration is v2/r and can be found directly from the speed v;

tangential acceleration is dv/dt and can be found as tangential force/mass.

(i) Initially, the speed v is zero, so acceleration is purely tangential:

(ii) At the lowest point there is no tangential force, so no tangential acceleration. The

Question 19.

For a uniform plane lamina the centre of mass coincides with the centre of area.

Measure coordinates x, y horizontally and vertically from (e.g.) the bottom-left corner. The

frame can be obtained by subtracting rectangle 2 from rectangle 1 where the areas and

centroids of the original rectangles are as follows. So that they can be used in a summation

formula, subtracted areas are marked negative.

Rectangle 1 (outer rectangle):

a1 = 0.5 × 0.7 = 0.35 m2

x1 = 0.25 m

y1 = 0.35 m

Rectangle 2 (inner rectangle):

a2 = –0.2 × 0.35 = –0.07 m2

x2 = 0.15 m

y2 = 0.425 m

Question 23.

One must consider, in this order:

toppling, if the vertical through the centre of mass lies outside the base;

sliding, if the downslope component of weight is greater than maximum friction.

(a) The centre of mass is at height m2.0m4.021 . The distance from the cylinder axis at

which this acts on the slope is

m0536.015tan2.0 x

This is greater than the base radius 0.05 m, so that the line of action of the weight lies outside

the base of the cylinder. The weight then produces an unbalanced moment about the bottom

of the cylinder, so the cylinder will topple over.

Answer: topples.

(b) The centre of mass is at height m175.0m35.021 . The distance from the cylinder axis

at which this acts on the slope is

m0469.015tan175.0 x

This lies within the confines of the base of the cylinder and hence the cylinder does not

topple.
