An object with mass M is attached to the
end of a string and is raised vertically at a
constant acceleration of
g/4

If it has been raised a distance & from rest,
how much work has been done by the tension
in the string?

Respuesta :

Answer:

W = 5/4 Mgℓ

Explanation:

Sum of forces:

∑F = ma

T − Mg = M (g/4)

T = 5/4 Mg

Work = force × distance

W = Tℓ

W = 5/4 Mgℓ

Work done by the tension is ⁵/₄ MgL

Further explanation

Let's recall the Kinetic Energy and Work formula as follows:

[tex]\boxed {E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 }[/tex]

Ek = kinetic energy ( J )

m = mass of object ( kg )

v = speed of object ( m/s )

[tex]\texttt{ }[/tex]

[tex]\boxed {W = F d}[/tex]

W = work done ( J )

F = force ( N )

d = displacement ( m )

Let us now tackle the problem!

Given:

acceleration of the object = a = g/4

initial speed of the object = u = 0 m/s

distance traveled = d = L

Asked:

work done by the tension = W = ?

Solution:

We will use Newton's Law of Motion to solve this problem:

[tex]\Sigma F = Ma[/tex]

[tex]T - w = Ma[/tex]

[tex]T = w + Ma[/tex]

[tex]T = Mg + M\frac{g}{4}[/tex]

[tex]T = \frac{5}{4}Mg[/tex]

[tex]T L = \frac{5}{4} MgL[/tex]

[tex]W = \frac{5}{4} MgL[/tex]

[tex]\texttt{ }[/tex]

Conclusion :

Work done by the tension is ⁵/₄ MgL
