Consider a double Atwood machine constructed as follows: A mass 4m is suspended from a string that passes over a massless pulley

on frictionless bearings. The other end of this string supports a second similar pulley, over which passes a second string supporting a mass of 3m at one end and m at the other. Using two suitable generalized coordinates, set up the Lagrangian and use the Lagrange equations to find the acceleration of the mass 4m when the system is released. Explain why the top pulley rotates even though it carries equal weights on each side.

Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

Answer : x ( acceleration of mass 4m ) = $\frac{g}{7}$

The top pulley rotates because it has to keep the center of mass of the system at equilibrium

Explanation:

Given data:

mass suspended = 4 meters

mass suspended at other end = 3 meters

first we have to express the kinetic and potential energy equations

The general kinetic energy of the system can be written as

T = $\frac{4m}{2} x^2 + \frac{3m}{2} (-x+y)^2 + \frac{m}{2} (-x-y)^2$

T = $4mx^2 + 2my^2 -2mxy$

also the general potential energy can be expressed as

U = $-4mgx-3mg(-x+y)-mg(-x-y)+constant=-2mgy +constant$

The Lagrangian of the problem can now be setup as

$L =4mx^2 +2my^2 -2mxy +2mgy + constant$

next we will take the Euler-Lagrange equation for the generalized equations :

Euler-Lagrange equation = $4x-y =0\\-2y+x +g = 0$

solving the equations simultaneously

x ( acceleration of mass 4m ) = $\frac{g}{7}$

The top pulley rotates because it has to keep the center of mass of the system at equilibrium

How many turns should a 10-cm long ideal solenoid have if it is to generate a 1.5-mT magnetic field when 1.0 A of current runs t

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

N=119.34 turns

Explanation:

The magnetic field of a solenoid is calculated using the formula:

B= µo* $\frac{I*N}{L}$ Equation 1

Where:

B: magnetic field in Teslas (T)

µo: free space permeability in T*m/A

I= Intensity of the current flowing through the conductor in ampere (A)

N= number of turns

L= solenoid length in meters (m)

Data of the problem:

L=10cm= $10*10^{-2}$ , B= 1.5mT= $1.5*10^{-3} T$ ,I=1A

µo= $4\pi *10^{-7} \frac{T*m}{A}$

We cleared N of the equation (1):

N=B*L/ µo*I

N= $(1.5*10^{-3} *10*10^{-2} )/(4\pi *10^{-7} *1$

$N=0.1193*10^{3}$

Answer

N=119.34 turns

The final direction of the system (me=M + person=P) velocity vector is at an angle; Ф, to the direction running south to north. Apply the component form of the impulse-momentum equation, firstly;

x-axis component form (+x east);

$P_{Miy}$ + $p_{Piy}$ + $j_{y}$ = $P_{Mfy}$ + $P_{pfy}$

$m_{Mu_{Miy}+ m_{pu_{piy}}+0=(m_{M}+m_{p})V_{f} sin$ Ф

60 ·8 + 0 = (60 + 80) $V_{f}sin$ Ф

480 = 140 $V_{f} sin$ Ф................. (I)

y-axis component form (+y north);

$P_{Mix}$ + $p_{Pix}$ + $j_{x}$ = $P_{Mfx}$ + $P_{pfx}$

$m_{Mu_{Mix}+ m_{pu_{pix}}+0=(m_{M}+m_{p})V_{f} cos$ Ф

0 + 80.9 = (60 + 80) $V_{f}cos$ Ф

720= 140 $V_{f}cos$ Ф

140Vf= $\frac{720}{cos}$ Ф......................................(2)

Substituting (2) into (1) to give the angle;

480 = 720tan Ф

Ф = arctan(0.67) =33.69°.......................(3)

Evaluating (1) with (3) gives the velocity magnitude

480 = 140Vfsin 33.69°

Vf=6.18 m/s

note 1:

This angle corresponds to a direction; 90° - 33.69° = 56.31° north of east.

A flashlight beam makes an angle of 60 degrees with the surface of the water before it enters the water. in the water what angle

alexira [117]

<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

= 22°

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

According to Snell's law, the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is a constant. The constant value is called the refractive index of the second medium with respect to the first.

Therefore; Sin i/Sin r = η

In this case; Angle of incidence = 90° -60° =30°, angle of refraction =? and η = 1.33

Thus;

Sin 30 / Sin r = 1.33

Sin r = Sin 30°/1.33

= 0.3759

r = Sin^-1 0.3759

= 22.08

<u>≈ 22°</u>

An automobile accelerates from zero to 30 m/s in 6.0 s. The wheels have a diameter of 0.40 m. What is the average angular accele

leva [86]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to angular motion equations. Therefore we will have that the angular acceleration will be equivalent to the change in the angular velocity per unit of time.

Later we will use the relationship between linear velocity, radius and angular velocity to find said angular velocity and use it in the mathematical expression of angular acceleration.

The average angular acceleration

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_0}{t}$

Here

$\alpha$ = Angular acceleration

$\omega_{f,i} =$ Initial and final angular velocity

There is not initial angular velocity,then

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f}{t}$

We know that the relation between the tangential velocity with the angular velocity is given by,

$v = r\omega$

Here,

r = Radius

$\omega$ = Angular velocity,

Rearranging to find the angular velocity

$\omega = \frac{v}{r}}$

$\omega = \frac{30}{0.20} \rightarrow$ Remember that the radius is half te diameter.

Now replacing this expression at the first equation we have,

$\alpha = \frac{30}{0.20*6}$

$\alpha = 25 rad /s^2$

Therefore teh average angular acceleration of each wheel is $25rad/s^2$
