Chapter 15 Problem 15-21

Question

15-21. If it takes 35 s for the 50-Mg tugboat to increase its speed uniformly to 25 km/h. starling from rest, determine the force of the rope on the tugboat.The propeller provides the propulsion force F which gives the tugboat forward motion, whereas the barge moves freely. Also, determine F acting on the tugboat. The barge has a mass of 75 Mg.

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 15 problem number 45 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: 15-21. If it takes 35 s for the 50-Mg tugboat to increase its speed uniformly to 25 km/h. starling from rest, determine the force of the rope on the tugboat.The propeller provides the propulsion force F which gives the tugboat forward motion, whereas the barge moves freely. Also, determine F acting on the tugboat. The barge has a mass of 75 Mg.
From the textbook chapter Kinetics of a Particle: Impulse and Momentum you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
