Chapter 15 Problem 15-33

Question

15-33. The log has a mass of 500 kg and rests on the ground for which the coefficients of static and kinetic friction are /xv = 0.5 and /xk = 0.4. respectively. The winch delivers a horizontal towing force T to its cable at A which varies as shown in the graph. Determine the speed of the log when t = 5 s. Originally the tension in the cable is zero. Hint: First determine the force needed to begin moving the log.

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 15 problem number 57 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: 15-33. The log has a mass of 500 kg and rests on the ground for which the coefficients of static and kinetic friction are /xv = 0.5 and /xk = 0.4. respectively. The winch delivers a horizontal towing force T to its cable at A which varies as shown in the graph. Determine the speed of the log when t = 5 s. Originally the tension in the cable is zero. Hint: First determine the force needed to begin moving the log.
From the textbook chapter Kinetics of a Particle: Impulse and Momentum you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
