Determine the velocity of the 60-lb block A if the two blocks are released from rest and the 40-lb block B moves 2 ft up the incline. The coefficient of kinetic friction between both blocks and the inclined planes is μk=0.10.

Respuesta :

vₐ = 0.771 ft/s

vb = -1.54 ft/s

Explanation:

Block A:

F = ma

Nₐ = - 60 cos60° = 0

Nₐ = 30 lb

Fₐ = 0.1 X 30 = 3lb

Block B:

F = ma

Nb = - 40 cos30° = 0

Nb = 34.64lb

Fb = 0.1 X 34.64 = 3.464lb

T1 + āˆ‘U = T2

(0 + 0) + 60 sin 60° |Ī”sₐ| - 40 sin 30° |Ī”sb| - 3|Ī”sₐ| - 3.464 |Ī”sb|

= 1/2 (60/32.2) vₐ² + 1/2 (40/32.2) vb²

and

2vₐ = - vb

On solving, we get

vₐ = 0.771 ft/s

vb = -1.54 ft/s

In this exercise we have to use the knowledge of mechanics, in order to calculate the value of the velocity of each block, so:

The velocity of A is Ā 0.771 ft/s and velocity of B is -1.54 ft/s.

How calcule the force of wich block?

So calculating the force that each block exerts is:

  • Block A:

[tex]F = ma\\N_a = - 60 cos60\° = 0\\N_a = 30 lb\\F_a = 0.1 X 30 = 3lb[/tex]

  • Block B:

[tex]F = ma\\N_b = - 40 cos30\° = 0\\N_b = 34.64lb\\F_b = 0.1 * 34.64 = 3.464lb[/tex]

By summing the Ā tension, we have that:

[tex]T_1 + \sum U = T_2\\(0 + 0) + 60 sin 60\° |\Delta s_a| - 40 sin 30\° |\Delta s_b| - 3|\Delta s_a| - 3.464 |\Delta s_b|\\= 1/2 (60/32.2) v_a^2 + 1/2 (40/32.2) v_b^2\\2v_a = - v_b[/tex]

On solving, we get

[tex]v_a = 0.771 ft/s\\v_b = -1.54 ft/s[/tex]
