Imminence of movement with movable pulleys

In summary, the conversation discusses the tension and forces involved in a system where a stem is connected to a wire and two lower pulleys. The equations for the tension in the Y and radial directions are given, and it is mentioned that a solid connection between the pulleys is necessary for a 4:1 mechanical advantage. The sliding block experiences a tension four times greater than the stem-string connection, resulting in a quarter of the movement.

Homework Statement
In a study on body balance, a physicist assembles an experimental apparatus, consisting of two bodies Q1 and Q2, of the same mass m, with charges + 2q and + q, respectively, separated by a distance of connected by strings of length l, to one with a thin, small stem of negligible mass. This stem is attached to a wire, which passes through four pulleys, the last of which is fixed to a rope that adheres to a block of mass M, which is on a surface with a friction coefficient µ. If the system does not reach equilibrium, the physicist adds plates to the body Q1 that generate a uniform electric field of value E, and to Q2 a magnetic field B, in addition to putting it in motion with a speed v, thus reaching , to static. However, when the wires that support the loads, by electrical repulsion, reach the same angle α with the vertical, the system is on the verge of movement
Consider:
- Gravity : g
- Middle electrical constant: K
- The threads are inextensible and of negligible mass
Which expression determines the value of the friction coefficient µ in the imminence of movement?

Answer: E

My solution:

1) Load 2q:

1604756167837.png

Y direction:

$$ T_1cos\alpha=mg + 2Eq$$

2) Load q:

1604756451439.png

Radial direction:

$$ T_2-\frac{Fel}{sen\alpha}-\frac{Fmag}{cos\alpha}-\frac{mg}{cos\alpha}=\frac{mv^2}{l}$$

$$T_2cos\alpha=\frac{Fel}{tg\alpha}+Fmag+mg+\frac{mv^2cos\alpha}{l}$$

3) Stem connected to the wire

$$T=T'+T''=T_1cos\alpha+T_2cos\alpha= mg + 2Eq+\frac{Fel}{tg\alpha}+Fmag+mg+\frac{mv^2cos\alpha}{l} $$

$$ T= 2mg+2Eq+qvB+\frac{2Kq^2}{d^2tg\alpha}+\frac{mv^2cos\alpha}{l}$$

On the imminence of movement:

$$M\mu g=2T=4mg+4Eq+2qvB+\frac{4Kq^2}{d^2tg\alpha}+\frac{2mv^2cos\alpha}{l}$$

$$\mu=\frac{4mg+2q(2E+vB)}{Mg}+\frac{2}{tg\alpha Mg}(\frac{2Kq^2}{d^2}+\frac{mv^2sen\alpha}{l})$$

Where am I missing?

Regarding the two lower pulleys:
The diagram is missing a necesary solid connection between both pulleys.
That system should give a mechanical advantage of 4:1 ratio.

Please, see:
https://roperescuetraining.com/physics_calcma_counting.php

The sliding block is "feeling" a tension four times greater than the tension that the stem is "feeling".
Because of that, the block would move only a quarter of the distance the stem-string point of connection would move.

1. What is the definition of "Imminence of movement with movable pulleys"?

The imminence of movement with movable pulleys refers to the state or condition of being about to happen or occur, specifically in relation to the use of pulleys that are able to move or rotate.

2. How do movable pulleys contribute to the imminence of movement?

Movable pulleys allow for the distribution of force and weight, making it easier to lift or move heavy objects. The combination of multiple movable pulleys can greatly increase the efficiency and speed of movement, thus contributing to the imminence of movement.

3. What are the advantages of using movable pulleys in terms of movement?

Movable pulleys can reduce the amount of force needed to move an object, making it easier and more efficient. They also allow for the direction of force to be changed, making it possible to move objects in different directions. Additionally, using multiple movable pulleys can greatly increase the speed and efficiency of movement.

4. Are there any limitations to the imminence of movement with movable pulleys?

While movable pulleys can greatly increase the speed and efficiency of movement, there are some limitations. The weight of the object being moved and the strength of the pulleys and ropes used can affect the overall effectiveness. Additionally, there may be limitations on the space available to set up the pulley system.

5. How is the imminence of movement with movable pulleys relevant in real-life applications?

Movable pulleys are commonly used in various industries such as construction, transportation, and manufacturing. They allow for the movement of heavy objects with less effort, making tasks more efficient and less physically demanding. They are also used in everyday objects such as elevators, cranes, and exercise equipment.
