DYNAMIC

S -studies the

relationship of motion to the forces

that causes it.
Types
of
Forces:

(a) Normal Force,

: When an
n
object rests or pushes on a
surface, the surface exerts a
push on it that is directed
perpendicular to the surface.

(b) Friction Force,

: In addition
f
to the normal force, a surface
may exert a frictional force on a
object, directed parallel to the
surface and opposite the motion
or impending motion of the
object.

f s s n - static friction, maximum friction

before the object begins to move.

f k k n - kinetic friction, friction on a moving

object.

(c) Tension Force,

: A pulling
force applied on an object by
any longitudinal object.

(d) Compression Force,

: A

pushing force applied on an

(e) Weight,

: The pull of gravity

on an object. It is always
directed vertically downward.

Example 1. A large wrecking ball is held in place by two light steel
cables as shown in the figure. If the mass m of the wrecking ball is
4,900 kg, what are (a) the tension TB in the cable that makes an
angle of 40o with the vertical and (b) the tension TA in the horizontal
cable?

Example 2. A farmer hitches her tractor to a sled loaded with a

firewood and pulls it along a level ground with constant speed. The
total weight of the sled and the load is 14,700N. The tractor exerts a
force on the sled at an angle of 36.9 o above the horizontal. If the
coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the ground is
0.333, find (a) the force exerted by the tractor on the sled; (b) the
friction and normal force on the sled.

Example 3. In a truck-loading station at a post office, a small 0.200kg package is released from rest at point A on a track that is onequarter of a circle with radius 1.60 m, as shown below. It slides down
the track and reaches point B with a speed of 4.80 m/s. From point B,
it slides on a level surface a distance of 3.00 m to point C, where it
comes to rest. Determine (a) the acceleration of the package; (b) the
kinetic coefficient of friction between the package and the horizontal
surface; (c) friction and the normal force.

Example 4. Consider the system in the figure; the pulley is
frictionless. Block A weighs 45.0 N and block B weighs 25.0 N. Once
block B is set into downward motion, calculate (a) the tension in the
string if the kinetic coefficient of friction between block A and the
horizontal surface is 0.20; and (b) acceleration of the two blocks.

Example 5. A 100-N crate is hanging on a cable supported by strut
with negligible mass. Find the tension T in each cable and the
magnitude and direction of the force exerted on the strut by the pivot
as shown in the figure.
