Click For Summary
The discussion centers on a physics problem involving a block on an incline, a spring, and forces including tension and friction. The user attempts to solve for the distance the block moves after being released, applying energy equations and calculating forces. A key error identified is the incorrect sign in the potential energy stored in the spring, which should be positive. Despite the user's calculations leading to a displacement of 0.447 m, the interactive physics simulation indicates a displacement of 0.792 m. Clarification on the energy equations and proper sign conventions is essential for accurate results.

Homework Statement


A 15 kg block is against, but not attached to, a spring w/ k=150 N/m and pushed back a distance of .75 m. All of this is on an incline of 25 degrees, w/ coefficient of kinetic friction equal to .4. To top it off, there's a string pulling w/ a Tension of 20 N at an angle of 10 degrees above the incline. How far does the block move when released?

Homework Equations


Wnc=Kf-Ki+GPf-GPi+Sf-Si
Wnc= nonconservative work
K=kinetic energy
GP=Universal Gravitational Potentiential Energy=mgh
S=Spring Work=-1/2(k)(x^2)
Fk=FN*mk
Fk=friction force
FN=normal force
mk=.4

The Attempt at a Solution


Well, first I found the x and y gravitational forces, w/ the positive x-axis pointing up the incline. That's (147sin(25),147cos(25))=(62.125,133.227)N
Then I found the same components for tension: (20cos(10),20sin(10))=(19.696,3.473)N

FN=Fwy-Ty (the problem says nothing about the block leaving the incline, and in face he told us to put a frictionless block above it in IP to prevent this). So FN=133.227-3.473=129.754 N
Fk=.4FN=51.9016 N

WT=20cos(10)d=19.696d
WFk=51.9016(cos180)(d)=-51.9016d

Now I start using energy equations (initial and final position have its velocity at 0, so K is ignored)
(15)(9.8)(dSin25)-15(9.8)(0)+0-(-1/2)(150)(.75^2)=19.696d-51.9016d
62.125d+42.1875=-32.2056d (I was already suspicious here since the answer would clearly be negative)
42.1875=-94.3306d

ignoring a negative answer, I'd get d=.447 m
IP (through Vector addition) gives me a displacement of .792m

Now I didn't do the IP myself, a partner did, but I need to know if I did anything wrong here.

Welcome to Physics Forums.

The potential energy stored in a spring is +(1/2) k x2 (no minus sign). The rest of your work seems okay.
 

Thread 'Magnitude of buoyant force in fluids of different densities'

The book claims the answer is that all the magnitudes are the same because "the gravitational force on the penguin is the same". I'm having trouble understanding this. I thought the buoyant force was equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Weight depends on mass which depends on density. Therefore, due to the differing densities the buoyant force will be different in each case? Is this incorrect?
