PHYSICS 12 DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM WORKSHEET 2

1.
In this diagram, a cord of negligible mass connects
the two masses as shown. There is negligible
friction.
a) At what rate will the masses accelerate?
b) What is the tension in the cord while the masses
17 kg are accelerating?
c) If the pulley exerts a 9.6 N friction force, what is
25 kg the acceleration now?

2. Will the 0.50 kg block be in static equilibrium if:


0.50 kg a) the coefficient of friction between block
and table is 0.60?
b) the table is frictionless, but each pulley can
28 N 30 N exert a friction force of 0.5 N?

3. a) Find the acceleration of the system to


the right as well as the tension in the 25.0 kg
string.
b) The 25.0 kg mass is now pulled to the µ = 0.200
left, giving the connected system an acceleration, up and to
the left, of 1.50 m/s2. How large is this applied force, and 20.0 kg
what is the new tension in the cord?

4. Three blocks with masses 6.0 kg, 9.0 kg and 10.0 kg are connected as shown below:

10.0 kg Calculate the following:


a) the acceleration of the system.
b) the tensions in each of the cords connecting
the masses.
µ = 0.20
6.0 kg
9.0 kg

5. Examine the diagram to the right.


a) In the absence of friction, what mass m
is needed to keep the system in static
equilibrium? 20.4 kg
b) Now assume there is friction. If the
hanging mass m is increases to 30.0 kg, m
causing an acceleration of 1.63 m/s2,
i) what is the magnitude and direction 35°
of the friction force on the 20.4 kg block?
ii) what is the coefficient of friction between block and inclined surface?
