PROBLEMS
96. ANS:
(a)
For the 5.0-kg mass:
Free-body diagram: FN acting perpendicular to ramp and up
Fg acting down
FT acting up along the ramp (this is the positive direction)
FK acting down along the ramp (this is the negative direction)
5.0 kg(a) = FT – mg(cos ) – mg(sin )

5.0 kg(a) = FT – 35.5 N

Free-body diagram: FT acting up (this is the negative direction)
Fg acting down (this is the positive direction)
20.0 kg(a) – 196 N – FT
Solving the system of equations:

a = 6.4 m/s2
The acceleration of the 5.0-kg mass along the ramp is 6.4 m/s 2.
(b)
The tension in the cable is 68 N.
(c)
Page 6 of 27
The speed of projection of the mass off the top of the ramp is 7.2 m/s.
(d)
Vertically: Let “up” be (–) and “down” be (+).
a = 9.8 m/s2
d = 6.0 m
Horizontal range:
The horizontal range for the projected mass is 9.5 m.

REF: K/U OBJ: 2.3 LOC: FM1.01
97. ANS:
(a)
Free-body diagram of the crate: FT acting up
Fg acting down
Let “up” be (–) and “down” be (+).
= –600 N + 50.0 kg(9.8 N/kg)

= –110 N
Page 7 of 27
It will take 2.7 s to lift the crate.
(b)
Free-body diagram: FT acting up (this is the negative direction)
Fg acting down (this is the positive direction)
50.0 kg(a) = 50.0 kg(9.8 N/kg) – FT

Free-body diagram: FT acting up (this is the positive direction)
Fg acting down (this the negative direction)
45.0 kg(a) = 45.0 kg(9.8 N/kg) – FT
Solving the system of equations:

a = 0.52 m/s2
The acceleration of the crate will be 0.52 m/s2.
(c)
FT = 45.0 kg(a) + 45.0 kg (9.8 N/kg)
= 45.0 kg(0.52 m/s2) + 45.0 kg(9.8 N/kg)
FT = 4.6  102 N
The tension in the cable would be 4.6  102 N.
98. ANS:
Page 8 of 27
(a)
Free-body diagram: FN acting perpendicular to the roof (upward)
Fg acting down
FK acting up along the roof (this is the negative direction)
(b)
Parallel to the roof:
ma = mg(sin ) – mg(cos )
a = 9.8 N/kg(sin 50º) – (0.14)(9.8 N/kg)(cos 50º)
a = 6.62 m/s2
The ice leaves the roof at 1.0  101 m/s.
(c)
When the ice leaves the roof it becomes a projectile:
Vertically:
Solving the quadratic: t = 0.406 s
Horizontally:
d = v(cos t
= 10.3 m/s(cos 50)(0.406 s)
d = 2.7 m
The ice lands 2.7 m from the base of the building.
99. ANS:
(a)
Free-body diagram: FN acting up
Fg acting down
FT acting to the right (this is the positive direction)
FK acting to the left (this is the negative direction)
0.80 kg(a) = FT – KFN

0.80 kg(a) = FT – 0.14(0.80 kg)(9.8 N/kg)
0.80 kg(a) = FT – 1.10 N
Page 9 of 27

Free-body diagram: FN acting perpendicular to the ramp (upward)
Fg acting down
FT acting up along the ramp (this is the negative direction)
FK acting up along the ramp
2.0 kg(a) = 2.0 kg(9.8 N/kg)(sin 30º) – FT – 0.14(2.0 kg)(9.8 N/kg)(cos 30º)
2.0 kg(a) = –FT + 7.42 N
Solving the system of equations: a = 2.3 m/s2

The system will accelerate at 2.3 m/s2.
(b)
FT = 0.80 kg(a) + 1.10 N
= 0.80 kg(2.26 m/s2) + 1.10 N
FT = 2.9 N
The tension in the string is 2.9 N.
(c)
If the block remains stationary:
FS = Fg sin 
= 2.0 kg(9.8 N/kg)(sin 30)
FS = 9.8 N

65 km/h = 18.1 m/s 40 km/h = 11.1 m/s
Distance travelled during reaction time:

8.1  0.80 = 14.4 m 11.1  0.80 = 8.89 m
Stop time:
Page 13 of 27
Total distance:
20.9 m + 14.4 m = 35.3 m 7.9 + 8.9 = 16.8 m
Difference:
35.3 m – 16.8 m = 18.5 m
It would take 19 m more to stop.
