AI Thread Summary
To solve the problem of an object weighing 8526 Newtons hanging at a 5-degree angle while a trolley accelerates, the key is to apply the principles of classical mechanics. The acceleration can be determined using the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration, specifically the equation a = f/m. The force acting on the object can be calculated using f = 8526 * tan(5°), resulting in a force of approximately 745 Newtons. Understanding how to incorporate the angle into the calculations is crucial for finding the correct acceleration of the load. Proper guidance on applying these equations will help in solving the problem effectively.

Homework Statement



A object with a weight of 8526 Newton hangs at a angle of 5 deg below a crane while the trolley accelerates.

What is the acceleration of the load ?

Homework Equations



none given

The Attempt at a Solution



i don't know which equation i should use ? i know acceleration is a = Dv / Dt but none of
this is given, only the angle that is created by inertia holding back the object ?

will figure it out myself i just need guidance on what to use for the problem

thanx :)

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
