1. A 1000kg mass is lowered by a rope. If the mass is initially moving at 10m/s, and is decelerating at 1m/s2, what is the initial tension T in the rope?
2. T = mg
3. So I tried setting up T = mg, and then since it is decelerating the tension must be less than what it would be if...
what is 2m?
edit:
I got the 387N by using your equation, but changed the positions of T and 2m. Can you explain the logic behind your equation. I sort of get it, but I need some clarification.
I understand the force of friction and the downward force of the mass are added because they act in...
The plane is inclined at a 30 degree angle. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the mass and the plane is 0.1. The mass is 100kg. If the mass is moving up the inclined plane at a velocity of 2m/s, what tension should be applied to the rope in order to make the mass reverse directions in...
Having trouble figuring out these 4 problems. I could use a walk through or an answer. thanks guys.
