Describe the motions of block A, block B, and the rope.
The motions of block A, block B and the rope.
Answer to Problem 1aT
Block A, rope and Block B everything will move towards right as there is no friction between block and table.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Force is defined as the rate of change of momentum. It is a pull or push on an object which is the result of interaction of an object with another object.
Two blocks A and B are tied together with a rope of mass
As the whole system is already in motion at this instant, when hand pushes block B it will move with constant acceleration and when rope will become tight, block A which was at rest also starts moving in the same direction.Block A, rope and Block B everything will move towards right as there is no friction between block and table.
Conclusion:
Thus, Block A, rope and Block B everything will move towards right as there is no friction between block and table.

- Suppose an additional horizontal force of 11.0 N directed to the left is applied to the block with mass m2 in the system in sample problem 5 below. Find (a) the acceleration of the system and (b) the tension in the rope.arrow_forwardPlease draw the Free body diagram for the blockarrow_forwardPlease show the signs in the formula on summation of forcesarrow_forward
- The block on the right shown below has more mass than the block on the left (m2 > m1). Draw free-body diagrams for each block.arrow_forwardIf two tugboats pull on a disabled vessel, as shown here in an overhead view, the disabled vessel will be pulled along the direction indicated by the result of the exerted forces. (a) Draw a free-body diagram for the vessel. Assume no friction or drag forces affect the vessel. (b) Did you include all forces in the overhead view in your free-body diagram? Why or why not?arrow_forwardOne or more external forces are exerted on each object enclosed in a dashed box shown in Figure 4.2. Identify the reaction to each of these forces.arrow_forward
- A runner pushes against the track, as shown. (a) Provide a free-body diagram showing all the forces on the runner. (Hint: Place all forces at the center of his body, and include his weight.) (b) Give a revised diagram showing the xy -component form.

Calculate the minimum force Fhe must exert to get the block moving. (b) What is its acceleration once it starts to move, if that force is maintained?arrow_forwardPlease draw the free body diagram clear and also show in the free body diagram if you added any forcearrow_forward
- Give 5 example of contact forces and non-contact forces.arrow_forwardAlso draw the free body diagram for Block A and Block Barrow_forwardDraw the free-body diagram of the block. Using this diagram and your knowledge about Newton’s laws of motion, explain why is it that with 0.5 coefficient of friction, the minimum force required to move a 0.8kg-block is 3.8 N?arrow_forward
