Question

A farm tractor tows a 3800-kg trailer up a 17 ?incline with a steady speed of 3.0 m/s.

What force does the tractor exert on the trailer? (Ignore friction.)

Two crewmen pull a raft through a ln in the figure(Figure 1) . One crewman pulls with a force of 130 N at an angle of 34 ? relative to the forward direction of the raft. The second crewman, on the opposite side of the lock, pulls at an angle of 45 ?

With what force should the second crewman pull so that the net force of the two crewmen is in the forward direction?

Explanation / Answer

The force required is the gravity that has to be overcome.

F = mg sin17 = 3800 * 9.81 * sin17 = 10899.03 N

  F=ma

F=7.6*1.45

F= 11.02 N

cos 13 = .97437

F req = 11.309 N for acceleration

force of gravity to overcome=

sin 13 = .225
.225* 9.81*7.6= 16.775
*.97437=17.195

17.195+11.02 = 28.215 N

The sum of the components of force in the direction of motion of the boat must be greater than zero. Hence for the maximum value
F sin 45 = 130 sin 34
F = 130 sin 34 / sin 45 =102.80 N
