A \( 1900 \, \text{kg} \) rocket accelerates upward at \( 2.5 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) with a thrust of \( 25000 \, \text{N} \). What is the mass ejection rate if the gas speed is \( 90 \, \text{m/s} \) relative to the rocket? (Take \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \))

Net force: \( T - mg = ma \).

\( 25000 - 1900 \times 10 = 1900 \times 2.5 \Rightarrow 25000 - 19000 = 4750 \).

Net force from ejection: \( T_{\text{ejection}} = ma = 4750 \, \text{N} \).

Thrust from gas: \( T_{\text{ejection}} = \frac{dm}{dt} \times v_{\text{rel}} \).

\( 4750 = \frac{dm}{dt} \times 90 \Rightarrow \frac{dm}{dt} = \frac{4750}{90} \approx 52.78 \, \text{kg/s} \).

A block of mass \( 8 \, \text{kg} \) rests on a horizontal plane. The plane is inclined at \( 30^\circ \) when the block just begins to slide. What is the coefficient of static friction?

At the point of impending motion, \( f_s = mg \sin\theta \) and \( N = mg \cos\theta \).

Maximum static friction \( f_s = \mu_s N \), so \( mg \sin\theta = \mu_s mg \cos\theta \).

The mass cancels out, giving \( \mu_s = \tan\theta \).

For \( \theta = 30^\circ \), \( \mu_s = \tan 30^\circ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \approx 0.58 \).

A \( 45 \, \text{kg} \) man in a lift accelerating downward at \( 1.5 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) stands on a scale. What is the reading? (Take \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \))

Scale reads normal force.

Net force: \( N - mg = ma \), where \( a = -1.5 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).

\( N - 45 \times 10 = 45 \times (-1.5) \).

\( N - 450 = -67.5 \Rightarrow N = 382.5 \, \text{N} \).

A \( 400 \, \text{kg} \) vehicle decelerates from \( 20 \, \text{m/s} \) to rest in \( 5 \, \text{s} \). What is the average force applied?

Acceleration \( a = \frac{v - u}{t} = \frac{0 - 20}{5} = -4 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).

Force \( F = ma \).

Substitute: \( m = 400 \, \text{kg} \), \( a = -4 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).

\( F = 400 \times (-4) = -1600 \, \text{N} \).

Magnitude of average force = \( 1600 \, \text{N} \).

A bullet of mass \( 0.05 \, \text{kg} \) moving at \( 100 \, \text{m/s} \) is stopped by a wooden block in \( 0.5 \, \text{m} \). What is the average resistive force exerted by the block on the bullet?

We use the kinematic equation \( v^2 = u^2 + 2as \) to find acceleration.

Here, final velocity \( v = 0 \), initial velocity \( u = 100 \, \text{m/s} \), and distance \( s = 0.5 \, \text{m} \).

Substitute: \( 0 = (100)^2 + 2a (0.5) \).

Solve: \( 0 = 10000 + a \Rightarrow a = -10000 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) (negative indicates retardation).

Force \( F = ma = 0.05 \times 10000 = 500 \, \text{N} \).

The magnitude of the average resistive force is \( 500 \, \text{N} \).

A bob of mass \( 0.2 \, \text{kg} \) hangs from a \( 1 \, \text{m} \) string. If the string is cut at its mean position with speed \( 2 \, \text{m/s} \), what is its initial horizontal velocity?

At the mean position, the bob’s speed is entirely horizontal.

When the string is cut, tension disappears, leaving only gravity (vertical).

No horizontal force acts initially, so horizontal velocity remains unchanged.

Given speed at mean position = \( 2 \, \text{m/s} \), this is the initial horizontal velocity.

A \( 3 \, \text{kg} \) block on a \( 30^\circ \) incline (\( \mu_s = 0.4 \)) is pushed up by a force parallel to the incline just enough to start motion. What is the force? (Take \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \), \( \sin 30^\circ = 0.5 \), \( \cos 30^\circ = 0.866 \))

Upward motion: \( F - mg \sin\theta - f_s = 0 \) at impending motion.

\( f_s = \mu_s N \), \( N = mg \cos\theta = 3 \times 10 \times 0.866 = 25.98 \, \text{N} \).

\( f_s = 0.4 \times 25.98 \approx 10.39 \, \text{N} \).

\( mg \sin\theta = 3 \times 10 \times 0.5 = 15 \, \text{N} \).

\( F = 15 + 10.39 = 25.39 \, \text{N} \approx 25.4 \, \text{N} \).

A \( 0.6 \, \text{kg} \) stone in a vertical circle of radius \( 1.5 \, \text{m} \) has a speed of \( 10 \, \text{m/s} \) at the bottom. What is the tension at the top? (Take \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \))

At bottom: \( T_b - mg = m v_b^2 / r \Rightarrow T_b - 0.6 \times 10 = 0.6 \times (10)^2 / 1.5 \).

\( T_b - 6 = 0.6 \times 66.67 \Rightarrow T_b - 6 \approx 40 \Rightarrow T_b \approx 46 \, \text{N} \).

Energy: \( \frac{1}{2} m v_b^2 = \frac{1}{2} m v_t^2 + 2mg \).

\( 0.5 \times 0.6 \times 100 = 0.5 \times 0.6 \times v_t^2 + 2 \times 0.6 \times 10 \).

\( 30 = 0.3 v_t^2 + 12 \Rightarrow 0.3 v_t^2 = 18 \Rightarrow v_t^2 = 60 \Rightarrow v_t \approx 7.75 \, \text{m/s} \).

At top: \( T_t + mg = m v_t^2 / r \Rightarrow T_t + 6 = 0.6 \times 60 / 1.5 \Rightarrow T_t + 6 = 24 \Rightarrow T_t = 18 \, \text{N} \).

A \( 2.6 \, \text{kg} \) block on a \( 30^\circ \) incline (\( \mu_s = 0.35 \)) is pulled downward by a horizontal force just sufficient to start motion. What is the force? (Take \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \), \( \sin 30^\circ = 0.5 \), \( \cos 30^\circ = 0.866 \))

The block moves downward, so friction acts upward along the incline.

Along incline: \( F \sin 30^\circ + mg \sin 30^\circ - f_s = 0 \) (horizontal force component aids gravity).

Normal force: \( N = mg \cos 30^\circ + F \cos 30^\circ \) (horizontal force increases normal force).

Calculate: \( mg = 2.6 \times 10 = 26 \, \text{N} \), \( mg \sin 30^\circ = 26 \times 0.5 = 13 \, \text{N} \).

\( mg \cos 30^\circ = 26 \times 0.866 = 22.516 \, \text{N} \), so \( N = 22.516 + F \times 0.866 \).

Friction: \( f_s = \mu_s N = 0.35 (22.516 + 0.866F) \).

Substitute: \( F \times 0.5 + 13 - 0.35 (22.516 + 0.866F) = 0 \).

Expand: \( 0.5F + 13 - 7.8806 - 0.3031F = 0 \Rightarrow 0.1969F + 5.1194 = 0 \).

Solve: \( 0.1969F = -5.1194 \Rightarrow F \approx \frac{-5.1194}{0.1969} \approx -26 \) (adjust: \( F \sin 30^\circ = f_s - mg \sin 30^\circ \)).

\( f_s = 7.8806 \), \( 0.5F = 7.8806 - 13 \Rightarrow 0.5F = -5.1194 \Rightarrow F \approx 10.24 \, \text{N} \).

A \( 1500 \, \text{kg} \) truck accelerates at \( 2 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) for \( 5 \, \text{s} \), then a \( 1 \, \text{kg} \) stone is dropped. What is the horizontal distance traveled by the stone in \( 1 \, \text{s} \)? (Neglect air resistance)

Truck’s velocity after \( 5 \, \text{s} \): \( v = u + at = 0 + 2 \times 5 = 10 \, \text{m/s} \).

The stone inherits this horizontal velocity when dropped.

No horizontal forces act post-drop (air resistance neglected).

Distance: \( s = v \times t = 10 \times 1 = 10 \, \text{m} \).
