A 5.20 kg bucket of water is accelerated upward by a cord of negligible mass whose breaking strength is 70.0 N. If the bucket starts from rest, what is the minimum time required to raise the bucket a vertical distance of 14.0 m without breaking the cord?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Time, t = 2.76 seconds  

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the bucket, m = 5.2 kg

The breaking strength of the cord, T = 70 N

Initially, the bucket is at rest, u = 0

Bucket is to raise a distance of 14 meters, d = 14 m

At equilibrium, the net force acting on the bucket is given by :

When the bucket is moving in upward direction,

[tex]T-mg=ma[/tex]

a is the acceleration of the bucket.

[tex]a=\dfrac{T-mg}{m}[/tex]

[tex]a=\dfrac{70-5.2\times 9.8}{5.2}[/tex]

[tex]a=3.66\ m/s^2[/tex]

Let t is the minimum time required to raise the bucket a vertical distance of 14.0 m without breaking the cord. Using second equation of motion as :

[tex]d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]

[tex]d=\dfrac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]

[tex]t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2d}{a}}[/tex]

[tex]t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 14}{3.66}}[/tex]

t = 2.76 seconds

So, the minimum time required to raise the bucket a vertical distance is 2.76 seconds. hence, this is the required solution.

The time required to pull the object from a height under the influence of gravity is the minimum time required. The minimum time required to raise the bucket is 2.76 sec.

What is breaking strength?

The ability of a material to sustain a tensile or pulling force is known as breaking strength. It's usually expressed in force per cross-sectional area. It comes under the property of the material.

The given data in the problem is ;

m = 5.2 kg

T = 70 N is the cord's breaking strength.

The bucket is initially at rest, with u = 0.

The bucket must lift a distance of 14 meters (d = 14 m).

The net force acting on the bucket at equilibrium is given by:

As the bucket is moving upward

[tex]{T-mg=ma}[/tex]

[tex]\rm{a= \frac{{T-mg}}{m} }[/tex]

[tex]\rm{a= \frac{{70-5.2\times9.8}}{5.2} }[/tex]

[tex]\rm{a= 3.66 m/s^2}[/tex]

From the second equation of motion

[tex]\rm{S = ut+\frac{1}{2} at^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\rm{u=0}[/tex]

[tex]t = \sqrt{\frac{2a}{S} }[/tex]

[tex]t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times3.66}{14} }[/tex]

[tex]\rm{t = 2.76 sec}[/tex]

Hence the minimum time required to raise the bucket is 2.76 sec.
