Simulation: Atwood's Machine, Question 1

When the two blocks in the simulation have different masses the system is held at rest by applying a downward force
(shown as a normal force) to the lighter block.
Choose all the correct statements about this system from the list below.
Increasing the mass of the larger block results in an increase in the magnitude of the acceleration of the
system when it is released from rest.
When the larger block reaches the ground the magnitude of the tension in the string equals the magnitude of
the force of gravity on the smaller block.
When the blocks are in motion they move with constant velocity.
When the larger block reaches the ground the ground in all cases applies an upward normal force equaland-opposite to the force of gravity acting on the block.
Doubling the mass of each block doubles the acceleration of the blocks when the system is released from rest.
Before the system is released the magnitude of the tension in the string equals the magnitude of the force of
gravity on the larger block.
When the blocks are in motion the magnitude of the net force on the red block is always equal to the
magnitude of the net force on the blue block.
Given the limits on the sliders available to you in the simulation, (a) what is the largest in magnitude negative value
the acceleration reading, shown at top right, can have? (b) What is the largest positive value the acceleration reading
can have?
(a)

m/s2

(b)

Chapter 6, Problem 26
In Fig. 6-28, a sled is held on an inclined plane by a cord pulling directly up the plane. The sled is to be on the verge
of moving up the plane. In Fig. 6-34, the magnitude F required of the cord's force on the sled is plotted versus a
range of values for the coefficient of static friction s between sled and plane: F1 = 2.00 N, F2 = 5.30 N, and 2 =

0.500. At what angle (in o) is the plane inclined?

Chapter 6, Problem 39
Flying Circus of Physics
Continuation of Problem 2: The mysterious sliding stones. Along the remote Racetrack Playa in Death Valley,
California, stones sometimes gouge out prominent trails in the desert floor, as if the stones had been migrating
(Figure 6-19). For years curiosity mounted about why the stones moved. One explanation was that strong winds
during occasional rainstorms would drag the rough stones over ground softened by rain. When the desert dried out,
the trails behind the stones were hard-baked in place. According to measurements, the coefficient of kinetic friction
between the stones and the wet playa ground is about 0.71.
Now assume that Equation 6-14 gives the magnitude of the air drag force on a typical 16 kg stone, which presents to
the wind a vertical cross-sectional area of 0.041 m2 and has a drag coefficient C of 0.74. Take the air density to be
1.21 kg/m3. (a) In kilometers per hour, what wind speed V along the ground is needed to maintain the stone's
motion once it has started moving? Because winds along the ground are retarded by the ground, the wind speeds
reported for storms are often measured at a height of 10 m. Assume wind speeds are 2.0 times those along the
ground. (b) For your answer to (a), what wind speed would be reported for the storm? (Story continues with Problem
61.)
