16. A child rolls a marble on a bent track that is 100 cm long as shown in Figure P2.16. We use x to represent the position of the marble along the track. On the hor-izontal sections from x 5 0 to x 5 20 cm and from x 5 40 cm to x 5 60  cm, the marble rolls with constant speed. On the sloping sections, the marble’s speed changes steadily. At the places where the slope changes, the marble stays on the track and does not undergo any sudden changes in speed. The child gives the marble some initial speed at x 5 0 and t 5 0 and then watches it roll to x 5 90 cm, where it turns around, eventually returning to x 5 0 with the same speed with which the child released it. Prepare graphs of x versus t, vx versus t, and ax versus t, vertically aligned with their time axes identical, to show the motion of the marble.

5.7 Analysis Models Using Newton’s Second Law 127

Conceptualize The reading on the scale is related to the extension of the spring in the scale, which is related to the force on the end of the spring as in Figure 5.2. Imagine that the fish is hanging on a string attached to the end of the spring. In this case, the magnitude of the force exerted on the spring is equal to the tension T in the string. There-fore, we are looking for T. The force T

S pulls down on the

string and pulls up on the fish.

Categorize We can categorize this problem by identify-ing the fish as a particle in equilibrium if the elevator is not accelerating or as a particle under a net force if the elevator is accelerating.

Analyze Inspect the diagrams of the forces acting on the fish in Figure 5.13 and notice that the external forces acting on the fish are the downward gravitational force F

Sg 5 mgS

and the force TS

exerted by the string. If the elevator is either at rest or moving at constant velocity, the fish is a par-ticle in equilibrium, so o Fy 5 T 2 Fg 5 0 or T 5 Fg 5 mg. (Remember that the scalar mg is the weight of the fish.) Now suppose the elevator is moving with an acceleration aS relative to an observer standing outside the elevator in an inertial frame. The fish is now a particle under a net force.

When the elevator accelerates upward, the spring scale reads a value greater than theweight of the fish.

When the elevator accelerates downward, the spring scale reads a value less than theweight of the fish.

Figure 5.13 (Example 5.8) A fish is weighed on a spring scale in an accelerating elevator car.

Apply Newton’s second law to the fish: o Fy 5 T 2 mg 5 may

Solve for T : (1) T 5 may 1 mg 5 mg aay

where we have chosen upward as the positive y direction. We conclude from Equation (1) that the scale reading T is greater than the fish’s weight mg if aS is upward, so ay is positive (Fig. 5.13a), and that the reading is less than mg if aS is downward, so ay is negative (Fig. 5.13b).

(B) Evaluate the scale readings for a 40.0-N fish if the elevator moves with an acceleration ay 5 62.00 m/s2.

S O L U T I O N

Evaluate the scale reading from Equation (1) if aS is upward:

T 5 140.0 N 2 a2.00 m/s2

Evaluate the scale reading from Equation (1) if aS is downward:

T 5 140.0 N 2 a22.00 m/s2

9.80 m/s2 1 1b 5 31.8 N

Finalize Take this advice: if you buy a fish in an elevator, make sure the fish is weighed while the elevator is either at rest or accelerating downward! Furthermore, notice that from the information given here, one cannot determine the direction of the velocity of the elevator.

Suppose the elevator cable breaks and the elevator and its contents are in free fall. What happens to the reading on the scale?

Answer If the elevator falls freely, the fish’s acceleration is ay 5 2g. We see from Equation (1) that the scale reading T is zero in this case; that is, the fish appears to be weightless.

Example 5.9 The Atwood Machine

When two objects of unequal mass are hung vertically over a frictionless pulley of negligible mass as in Figure 5.14a, the arrangement is called an Atwood machine. The device is sometimes used in the laboratory to determine the value of g. Deter-mine the magnitude of the acceleration of the two objects and the tension in the lightweight string.

Conceptualize Imagine the situation pictured in Figure 5.14a in action: as one object moves upward, the other object moves downward. Because the objects are connected by an inextensible string, their accelerations must be of equal magnitude.

Categorize The objects in the Atwood machine are subject to the gravitational force as well as to the forces exerted by the strings connected to them. Therefore, we can categorize this problem as one involving two particles under a net force.

Analyze The free-body diagrams for the two objects are shown in Figure 5.14b. Two forces act on each object: the upward force T

S exerted by the string and

the downward gravitational force. In problems such as this one in which the pulley is modeled as massless and frictionless, the tension in the string on both sides of the pulley is the same. If the pulley has mass or is subject to friction, the tensions on either side are not the same and the situation requires techniques we will learn in Chapter 10. We must be very careful with signs in problems such as this one. In Figure 5.14a, notice that if object 1 accelerates upward, object 2 accelerates downward. Therefore, for consistency with signs, if we define the upward direction as positive for object 1, we must define the downward direction as positive for object 2. With this sign convention, both objects accelerate in the same direction as defined by the choice of sign. Furthermore, according to this sign conven-tion, the y component of the net force exerted on object 1 is T 2 m1g, and the y component of the net force exerted on object 2 is m2g 2 T.

Finalize The acceleration given by Equation (3) can be interpreted as the ratio of the magnitude of the unbalanced force on the system (m2 2 m1)g to the total mass of the system (m1 1 m2), as expected from Newton’s second law. Notice that the sign of the acceleration depends on the relative masses of the two objects.

Describe the motion of the system if the objects have equal masses, that is, m1 5 m2.

Answer If we have the same mass on both sides, the system is balanced and should not accelerate. Mathematically, we see that if m1 5 m2, Equation (3) gives us ay 5 0.

What if one of the masses is much larger than the other: m1 .. m2?

Answer In the case in which one mass is infinitely larger than the other, we can ignore the effect of the smaller mass. Therefore, the larger mass should simply fall as if the smaller mass were not there. We see that if m1 .. m2, Equation (3) gives us ay 5 2g.

A friend spins the front wheel, of radius R, and observes that drops of water fly off tangentially in an upward direction when the drops are at the same level as the center of the wheel.

52. The large quadriceps muscle in the upper leg terminates at its lower end in a tendon attached to the upper end of the tibia (Fig. P12.52a, page 386). The forces on the lower leg when the leg is extended are modeled as in Figure P12.52b, where T

S is the force in the tendon, F

Sg,leg is

the gravitational force acting on the lower leg, and FS

g,foot is the gravitational force acting on the foot. Find T when the tendon is at an angle of f 5 25.08 with the tibia, assuming Fg,leg 5 30.0 N, Fg,foot 5 12.5 N, and the leg is extended at an angle u  5 40.08 with respect to the vertical. Also assume the center of gravity of the

48. Assume a person bends forward to lift a load “with his back” as shown in Figure P12.48a. The spine pivots mainly at the fifth lumbar vertebra, with the princi-pal supporting force provided by the erector spinalis muscle in the back. To see the magnitude of the forces involved, consider the model shown in Figure P12.48b for a person bending forward to lift a 200-N object. The spine and upper body are represented as a uniform hor-izontal rod of weight 350 N, pivoted at the base of the spine. The erector spinalis muscle, attached at a point two-thirds of the way up the spine, maintains the posi-tion of the back. The angle between the spine and this muscle is u 5 12.08. Find (a) the tension T in the back muscle and (b) the compressional force in the spine. (c) Is this method a good way to lift a load? Explain your answer, using the results of parts (a) and (b). (d) Can you suggest a better method to lift a load?

Trigonometric Identities

sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1

sin(2θ) = 2 sin(θ) cos(θ).

cos(2θ) = cos2 θ − sin2 θ

sin(α± β) = sinα cos β ± cosα sin β

cos(α± β) = cosα cos β ∓ sinα sin β

cosα cos β = 12[cos(α− β) + cos(α + β)]

sinα sin β = 12[cos(α− β) − cos(α + β)]
