Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Question

Show that, as explained in the text, a force F_⊥ exerted on a flexible medium at its center and perpendicular to its length (such as on the tightrope wire in Figure 5.26) gives rise to a tension of magnitude T = F_⊥ /2sin(θ) .

Course CoILents ... " PHTS 2 IWJ DIrectionTOTictioT The direction of the frictional forces is something you need to think about carefully. The best rule of thumb is the following: the direction of the frictional force is such that it tries to keep the two surfaces from slipping. In each of these situations, what would be the direction of the frictional force?

At your job at a warehouse, you have designed a method to help get heavy packages up a 15° ramp. The package is attached to a rope that runs parallel to the ramp and passes over a massive pulley with a moment of inertia I m, at the top of the ramp. The other end of the rope is attached to a counterweight that hangs straight down. The mass of the counterweight is always adjusted to be twice the mass of the package. 10.0 kg-m and radius of 0.20 m= 50 kg || 15° However, your boss is worried that the acceleration of the package will make it too difficult to handle at the top of the ramp and tells you to calculate the acceleration of the package. To determine the influence of friction on the package by the ramp, you run some tests and find that using a horizontal force of 250 N, you can push a 50.0 kg package at a constant speed along a level floor made of the same material as the ramp. What will be the acceleration of the package up the ramp?
