Question

Problem 96GP

IP A uniform rope of length L and mass M rests on a table, (a) if you lift one end of the rope upward with a constant speed, v, show that the rope's center of mass moves upward with constant acceleration. (b) Next, suppose you hold the rope suspended in air, with its lower end just touching the table. If you now lower the rope with a constant speed, v, onto the table, is the acceleration of the rope's center of mass upward or downward? Explain your answer. (c) Find the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the rope's center of mass far the case described in part (b). Compare with part (a).

Solution

Step 1 of 5)

The first step in solving 9 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Problem 96GPIP A uniform rope of length L and mass M rests on a table, (a) if you lift one end of the rope upward with a constant speed, v, show that the rope's center of mass moves upward with constant acceleration. (b) Next, suppose you hold the rope suspended in air, with its lower end just touching the table. If you now lower the rope with a constant speed, v, onto the table, is the acceleration of the rope's center of mass upward or downward? Explain your answer. (c) Find the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the rope's center of mass far the case described in part (b). Compare with part (a).
From the textbook chapter Linear Momentum and Collisions you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
