Dynamics - Solved Exercises

This document provides an overview of key concepts in dynamics, including: - Newton's First Law describes what happens in the absence of a net force, stating an object will maintain its state of motion. - Newton's Second Law relates the net force on an object to its mass and acceleration. The net force is directly proportional to acceleration and inversely proportional to mass. - Newton's Third Law states that for every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force. Forces always occur in pairs. - Free body diagrams are used to identify all forces acting on an object to solve dynamics problems using Newton's Laws. Components of forces can be resolved using appropriate axes.

2.3 Newtons First Law


Every object continues in its state of rest,
or of uniform velocity in a straight line as
long as no net force acts on it
Newtons First Law describes what happens in the
absence of a force. Does not describe zero net force.
Also tells us that when no force acts on an object, the
acceleration of the object is zero.

2.4 Newtons Second Law

The acceleration of an object is directly


proportional to the net force acting on it
and inversely proportional to its mass
Force is the cause of change in motion, as
measured by the acceleration

v
v
F = ma

Algebraically,

F is the net force


This is the vector sum of all the forces acting
on the object

Newtons Second Law can be expressed


in terms of components (see later):
Fx = m ax
Fy = m ay

Example: A car of mass 1000 Kg is moving to the right with a velocity of 100
Km/h. When the breaks are used the force of friction stops the car over a distance
of 50m. Estimate the force of friction (direction and magnitude).

Gravitational Force

Weight = Fg= mg

The gravitational force, Fg , is the force that


the earth exerts on an object
This force is directed toward the center of
the earth
FromrNewtons
Second Law
r

Fg = mg
Its magnitude is called the weight of the
object

2.5 The Force of Friction


Friction is a result of surface
roughness.

The direction of friction is always


opposite to the force tending to give
motion.
Before motion takes place friction is
called static friction.
After motion takes place friction is
called kinetic friction

F = N
Direction: opposite to that
of motion or impending
motion

Static Friction, fs

fs Fmax
s = Coefficient of static friction
k = Coefficient of kinetic friction

Different combinations of
materials have a different
coefficients of static friction

Kinetic Friction, fk : constant

available). Deviation only at
very high velocities

The coefficient of friction, , depends entirely on the type of materials that


are in contact.

Example 1: A 1000 kg car is moving horizontally with a velocity of 25 m/s.


The driver steps on the brake. Assuming that the road has a coefficient of
friction equal to 0.7 calculate the velocity of the car 3 s after the driver
applied the brakes.

If two objects interact, the force exerted by


object 1 on object 2 is equal in magnitude
and opposite in direction to the force
exerted

r by object 2 on object 1
F12 = F21 ( Note on notation: Fr is the force exerted on A by B)

Forces always occur in pairs

2.7 Solving Problems


Free-body Diagrams
In order to solve Dynamics Problems we need a
Free-Body diagram of our object:
Assume that the body is isolated
Assume that the body is a point particle
Draw all the forces acting on the body alone.
We can the apply Newtons 3rd law for each body
independent of the others

Free-body diagram for connected objects


Two boxes and a pulley: Draw Free-Body diagrams
for each box, taking into account the force of friction.

15

Calculate the common acceleration of the bodies if


the coefficient of friction is 0.1.

Free-body diagram on an incline


The normal force is always at right
Angle to the surface. The weight is
always downwards and friction to
the opposite direction of motion.

Example: Draw free-body diagrams for masses


m1 and m2. Take friction into account.

F = 40 N

Example 2: Three masses, m1=5 kg, m2=7kg and m3=8kg are connected with
light inextensible strings as shown in the following diagram and are placed on a
smooth floor. On mass m1 acts a horizontal force of 40N.
m3

(a) Draw the free body force diagram for each mass.
(b) Calculate the normal reaction of the floor on each mass.
(c) Apply the Newtons second law for each mass in the horizontal
direction.
(d) Find the acceleration a of the system and the tensions T1 and T2 in
the strings.

2.8 Solving Problems


Vector Components
A vector may be resolved
into components by the
appropriate choice of
axes.
Fx = F Cos
Fy = F Sin

21

Example: A block of mass m=5kg is released


from rest from the top of an incline of height
1m and =30.
(a)Calculate the acceleration of the block when
there is no friction
(b)Calculate the acceleration of the block when
the coefficient of friction is 0.1
(c)What is the velocity of the block at the
bottom of the incline?

23

24

Example: If m1=1kg and m2=2kg write down Newtons


second law in terms of components for each body:
Fx = m ax
Fy = m ay
Neglect friction. Use your equations in order to calculate
the common acceleration of the bodies

2.9 General Problems


Elevator and counterweight (Atwood's machine):
Two bodies, an elevator with mass mE=1150 Kg and a
counterweight of mass mc=1000 kg are connected with a light
string as shown in the diagram. The string passes over the
neck of a smooth pulley, which is not allowed to rotate. The
system is left to move. Evaluate
(a) The common acceleration of the two bodies.
(b) The tension in the string.
(c) The speed each body acquires after they travel a distance
of 1m, starting from rest.
