. A body of mass 5kg is initially at rest at the bottom of a rough inclined plane of length 6.3m. The plane is inclined at 300 to the horizontal and coefficient of friction between the body and the plane is 1 2√ . A constant horizontal force of 35 √ 3N is applied to the body causing it to 3 accelerate up the plane. Find the time taken for the body to reach the top and its speed on arrival.
To solve this problem, we need to use the equations of motion and the principles of friction. Let's break it down step by step:
1. Draw a diagram:
2. Determine the forces acting on the body:
- Weight of the body (mg) = 5 x 9.81 = 49.05 N acting vertically downwards
- Normal force (N) = mg cos(30°) = 49.05 x cos(30°) = 42.5 N acting perpendicularly to the inclined plane
- Force applied (F) = 35√3 N acting horizontally up the plane
- Frictional force (f) = N x coefficient of friction = 42.5 x 1/2√ = 21.25√2 N acting parallel to the inclined plane in the opposite direction to the direction of motion
3. Determine the net force acting on the body:
- Forces acting up the plane = F sin(30°) - f = 35√3 x sin(30°) - 21.25√2 = 22.5 N
- Forces acting down the plane = mg sin(30°) - N - F cos(30°) = 5 x 9.81 x sin(30°) - 42.5 - 35√3 x cos(30°) = -15.86 N
- Net force acting on the body = forces acting up the plane + forces acting down the plane = 22.5 - 15.86 = 6.64 N acting up the plane
4. Determine the acceleration of the body:
- Using Newton's second law (F = ma), we can determine the acceleration of the body.
- Net force acting on the body = ma
- Therefore, acceleration (a) = net force/mass = 6.64/5 = 1.328 m/s^2
5. Determine the time taken for the body to reach the top:
- Using the equation of motion s = ut + 1/2at^2, where s is the distance travelled, u is the initial velocity (which is zero), a is the acceleration, and t is the time taken
- Distance travelled up the plane (s) = length of inclined plane (6.3 m)
- Therefore, 6.3 = 1/2 x 1.328 x t^2
- Solving for t, we get t = 2.63 s (rounded to two decimal places)
6. Determine the speed of the body on arrival:
- Using the equation of motion v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity (which is zero), a is the acceleration, and t is the time taken
- Final velocity (v) = u + at = 0 + 1.328 x 2.63 = 3.49 m/s (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, the time taken for the body to reach the top is 2.63 seconds and the speed of the body on arrival is 3.49 m/s.
Given data:
Mass of the body (m) = 5 kg
Length of the inclined plane (l) = 6.3 m
Angle of inclination (θ) = 30°
Coefficient of friction (μ) = 1/(2√2)
Horizontal force (F) = 35√3 N
To calculate the time taken for the body to reach the top and its speed on arrival, we need to perform the following steps:
Step 1: Resolve the forces acting on the body:
- The weight of the body acts vertically downwards and can be resolved into two components: mg sinθ and mg cosθ, where g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s^2).
- The frictional force acts opposite to the direction of motion.
Step 2: Calculate the force of gravity parallel to the inclined plane:
- The component of the weight of the body parallel to the inclined plane is mg sinθ.
Step 3: Calculate the frictional force:
- The frictional force can be calculated using the equation: frictional force = coefficient of friction × normal force.
- The normal force is equal to the component of the weight of the body perpendicular to the inclined plane, which is mg cosθ.
Step 4: Calculate the net force acting on the body:
- The net force is equal to the applied force minus the component of the weight parallel to the inclined plane minus the frictional force.
Step 5: Calculate the acceleration of the body:
- The acceleration can be determined using the equation: acceleration = net force / mass.
Step 6: Calculate the time taken for the body to reach the top:
- The time taken can be calculated using the equation: time = square root of (2 × distance / acceleration).
- The distance traveled by the body is equal to the length of the inclined plane, which is 6.3 m.
Step 7: Calculate the final velocity of the body:
- The final velocity can be determined using the equation: final velocity = initial velocity + (acceleration × time).
- Since the body is initially at rest, the initial velocity is zero.
Step 8: Round off the calculated values if necessary.
Now, let's calculate the time taken for the body to reach the top and its speed on arrival:
Step 1: Resolve the forces acting on the body:
- Weight of the body = mg = 5 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 49 N
- Weight parallel to the inclined plane = mg sinθ = 49 N × sin(30°) = 24.5 N
- Weight perpendicular to the inclined plane = mg cosθ = 49 N × cos(30°) = 42.5 N
Step 2: Calculate the force of gravity parallel to the inclined plane:
- Force of gravity parallel to the inclined plane = mg sinθ = 24.5 N
Step 3: Calculate the frictional force:
- Frictional force = coefficient of friction × normal force
- Frictional force = (1/(2√2)) × 42.5 N = 21.25 N
Step 4: Calculate the net force acting on the body:
- Net force = Applied force - (Force of gravity parallel to the inclined plane + Frictional force)
- Net force = 35√3 N - (24.5 N + 21.25 N) = 35√3 N - 45.75 N = -9.75 N (opposite to the direction of motion)
Step 5: Calculate the acceleration of the body:
- Acceleration = Net force / Mass = (-9.75 N) / 5 kg = -1.95 m/s² (negative sign signifies the opposite direction)
Step 6: Calculate the time taken for the body to reach the top:
- Time = √(2 × Distance / Acceleration) = √(2 × 6.3 m / -1.95 m/s²) = √(-20.5) (taking square root of a negative value results in an imaginary number)
Since taking the square root of a negative value results in an imaginary number, it means that the body will not reach the top of the inclined plane.
Therefore, the time taken for the body to reach the top cannot be calculated.
However, if you meant to ask for the time taken for the body to come to a stop on the inclined plane, we can calculate that using the above steps till Step 5.
Step 7: Calculate the final velocity of the body:
- Final velocity = Initial velocity + (Acceleration × Time)
- Since the body starts from rest, the initial velocity is zero.
- Final velocity = 0 + (-1.95 m/s² × Time)
At this point, we cannot calculate the final velocity without knowing the time.
Please provide the correct question or specify the value of time to proceed further.
To find the time taken for the body to reach the top of the inclined plane and its speed on arrival, we need to analyze the forces acting on the body.
1. Find the force of gravity:
The force of gravity acting on the body can be calculated using the formula F_gravity = mass * gravity, where the mass of the body is 5 kg and the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s^2.
F_gravity = 5 kg * 9.8 m/s^2
F_gravity = 49 N
2. Find the force of friction:
The force of friction can be calculated using the formula F_friction = coefficient of friction * normal force.
The normal force can be calculated using the formula F_normal = mass * gravity * cos(theta), where theta is the angle of inclination (30 degrees in this case).
F_normal = 5 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * cos(30 degrees)
F_normal = 42.43 N
F_friction = 1/2 * sqrt(2) * 42.43 N
F_friction ≈ 29.92 N
3. Find the net force:
The net force acting on the body can be calculated by subtracting the force of friction from the applied force.
F_applied = 35√3 N
Net force = F_applied - F_friction
Net force = 35√3 N - 29.92 N
4. Find the acceleration:
Using Newton's second law of motion (F = ma), we can find the acceleration of the body.
Net force = mass * acceleration
35√3 N - 29.92 N = 5 kg * acceleration
acceleration ≈ (35√3 N - 29.92 N) / 5 kg
5. Calculate the time taken:
To find the time taken for the body to reach the top, we can use the equation of motion:
distance = initial velocity * time + (1/2) * acceleration * time^2
Assuming the body starts from rest, the initial velocity is 0. The distance is given as 6.3 m. We can rearrange the equation and solve for time.
(1/2) * acceleration * time^2 = distance
(1/2) * (35√3 N - 29.92 N) / 5 kg * time^2 = 6.3 m
Solve the above equation for time.
6. Find the speed on arrival:
Once we find the time taken, we can calculate the final velocity using the equation:
final velocity = initial velocity + acceleration * time
Since the body starts from rest, the initial velocity is 0.
Finally, use the calculated final velocity to find the speed on arrival (magnitude of the velocity).
Note: Due to the complexity of the equation, the numbers involved, and the use of square roots, it's recommended to use a calculator or a scientific calculator to obtain precise values in each step of the calculations.
