Example 5.5 tension over a frictionless pulley
Blocks of granite are to be hauled up a 15oslope out of aquarry and dirt is to be dumped into the quarry to fill up old
holes to simplify the process, you design a system in which
a granite block on a cart with steel wheels (weight w1,
including both block and cart) is pulled uphill on steel rails
by a dirt-filled bucket (weight w2, including both dirt and
bucket) dropping vertically into the quarry. How must theweights w1and w2be related in order for the system to
move constant speed? Ignore friction in the pulley and
wheels and the weight of the cable.

Apparent weight and apparent weightlessness
When a passenger with mass mrides in an elevator with y-acceleration ay, a scale shows the passengers apparentweight to be n = m(g + ay)
When the elevator is accelerating upward, ayis positive andnis greater than the passengers weight w = mg.when theelevator is accelerating downward, ayis negative and nis
less than the weight.
When ay= g, the elevator is in free fall, n = 0and thepassenger seems to be weightless.
Similarly, an astronaut orbiting the earth in a spacecraftexperiences apparent weightlessness.
In each case, the person is not truly weightless because thereis still a gravitational force acting. But the person's sensation in
this free-fall condition are exactly the same as though the
person were in outer space with no gravitational force at all.

Friction force is a contact force, it usuallyexists when a body slides on a surface.
The direction of friction force is opposite of
the direction of motion.
Sometimes we want to decrease frictionsuch as the oil is used in a car engine to
minimize friction between moving parts,but without friction between the tires andthe road we couldnt drive or run the car.

The kind of friction that acts when a body slidesover a surface is called kinetic friction forcefk.
The magnitude of the kinetic friction force can be
represented by the equation:
Where kis a constant called the coefficient of kinetic
friction. kdepends on the types of surface. Because it isa ratio of two force magnitudes, kis a pure number,without units.

The equation is only anapproximate representation of acomplex phenomenon. As a boxslides over the floor, bonds between
the two surfaces form and break,and the total number of such bondsvaries; hence the kinetic frictionforce is not perfectly constant.

Static friction
Friction forces may also act when there isno relative motion.
If you try to slide a box across the floor,
the box may not move at all because thefloor exerts an equal and opposite friction
force on the box.
This is called a static friction force fs.

The equation is a relationship between magnitudes, not avector relationship.
The equality sign holds only when the applied force Thas
reached the critical value at which motion is about to start.
When T is less than this value, the inequality sign holds. In
that case we have to use the equilibrium conditions (F = 0)
to find fs. If there is no applied force (T = 0), then there is
not static friction force either (fs= 0).

Rolling friction
Its a lot easier to move a loaded filingcabinet across a horizontal floor using a
cart with wheels than to slide it.
We can define a coefficient of rollingfriction rthe tractive resistance. Typicalvalues of rare 0.002 to 0.003 for steel
wheels on steel rails and 0.01 to 0.02 forrubber tires on concrete.

Fluid Resistance and Terminal speedFluid resistance is the force that a fluid (a gas or liquid) exerts
on a body moving through. The direction of the fluid resistanceforce acting on body is always opposite the direction of the
bodys velocity relative to the fluid.
The magnitude of the fluid resistance force usually increase
with speed of the body through the fluid.
For very low speed, the magnitude fof the fluid resistance
force can be described using the following equation
Where kis a proportionality constant that depends on the
shape and size of the body and the properties of the fluid.
The unit of k is Ns/m or kg/s

Air drag
In motion through air at the speed of a tossed tennis ballor faster, the resisting force is approximately proportionalto v2rather than v. It is then called air drag or simply
drag. Airplanes, falling raindrops, and bicyclists all
experience air drag. The air drag on a typical car is
negligible at low speeds but comparable to or greaterthan rolling friction at highway speeds.
The value of Ddepends on the shape and size of the
body and on the density of the air. The units of the
constant Dare Ns2/m2or kg/m

Because of the effects of fluid resistance, an object falling in afluid does not have a constant acceleration.
To find acceleration at a point of time, we need to use Newtons
second law.

speed increases, the air resistance force also increases,

U o c cu a ot o s go e ed by e to smake a particle accelerate toward the center of the circle, the
net force Fon the particle must always be directed toward
the center. The magnitude of the acceleration is constant, so
the magnitude Fnetmust also be constant.
Uniform circular motion can result
from any combination of forces,
just so the net force F is alwaysdirected toward the center of the
circle and has a constant
magnitude.
