Hi all,

This has been a tricky question that ive been stuck on for a while, not sure if its even possible.

what book is this?


a= 4.9 - kv
d^2 x/dt^2 = 4.9 -kv


I'm thinking the only way this is possible is if proportional means 1:1 relation (k=1). Do you have a numerical solution.

Is the answer t = 40/k? I am unsure of my working out but I pretty much substituted the results of the integrand for both x and t. Could you give an update.

I'm not sure if these calculations are eligible or correct and I might be doing something wrong so please feel free to check.

To clarify;

The net force equation was found through the diagram considering the weight force on the mass hanging from the pulley and the 2 resistive forces on both masses.

The equation for acceleration was found through substituting F in the force equation with ma and dividing both sides by 20 since the collective mass was 20kg.

EDIT:

I realized I made a mistake when calculating the first equation, I didn't consider the -v on top.

upon reading it again, u did what i thought would be the reason that it wouldnt work haha.

The two C's are different, and do not necessarily cancel each other out.

pre sure this q is impossible unless there's a trick

Ive gotten to the equation 40k=T-v where v is final speed.

Yeah that was the only thing I thought of because I didn't know what to do with k because it doesn't really show a way or specify like most normal questions. I realised that as well after posting it with the fact I didn't integrate the first one. I can provide another solution through substituting k in each equation and have the constants with different letters to distinguish them but I doubt the equation would be the correct answer but the working out would be logical.

Yeah I got that same equation first I think but I didnt know what to do with velocity part so I just tried the method I posted above, idek what to do next because the calculation I did was the closest I got? . I reintegrated the first equation and I got x = −490ln(|kx−49|)+10kx/k^2+C but I cant be bothered at this point to go further with substitution since there's no limits given, and idkdk pointed out the C's were different so if you found an equation for k and substituted into the x or t equation you could work out the final equation with multiple variables (Two different C's) and so on but not sure that would suffice as an answer with that much unknown variables.

The problem here is you get 2 ts at different exponential states, which I think is unsolvable with conventional methods. I'm trying something else atm.

I got an answer.
Using the 40k = t-v formula and the derivation of the acceleration equation instead using dv/dt, making v the subject, you get Therefore, (1)
Now
integrating your dv/dt equation with the proper bounds you now get

Sub in identity (1)





Something doesn't seem right please someone point it out.

N/A
Given they are attached by a string of fixed length and that it will always be taut, won't the two masses always have the same speed?

Hey guys, this solution might be really whacky and possibly wrong. I wasn't satisfied with the unknown variables so I decided to solve this problem without calculus. The first idea that popped up to my head is instead of using forces, using ME to solve the problem.

The work done by the object is:

W = Fs, where F is force, s is displacement.

Law of Conservation states; ME = U + KE (Mechanical Energy = Gravitational Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy)

At x = 40, the Kinetic Energy of the object is 0 as there is no motion at this point. At this point in time, the position of the blocks resemble the diagram. Blue is the farthest away from the pulley and the red is at its highest point.

U = mgh = 10*9.8*40 = 98*40 = 3920
U = ME at this point. 3920J

So now calculating the Kinetic Energy when U = 0, aka when x = 0 (height is 0) (THIS IS NOT TO SAY THAT THE RED OBJECT HIT THE GROUND, THIS IS SIMPLY WHEN THE BLUE OBJECT REACHED 40m) KE = 1/2 * m * v^2

U + KE = ME
KE + 0 = 3920

5*v^2 = 3920 therefore v = 28 instantaneously at x = 0

The velocity of both objects are identical - and this can be inferred mathematically through the identical acceleration and resistive force, the objects in the system share identical properties and as so at this point we can extrapolate the speed of the blue object.

So using this knowledge. We can simply calculate the time at when the velocity is 28 since it is the instantaneous final velocity (before blue falls off):

v = s/t
t= s/v
t = 40/28
t = 1.43s


At this point the blocks can no longer move since the blue block reached its maximum distance and if the pulley is disregarded as an object blocking the Blue box from falling, it would have fell off the plane at approx t = 1.43s) This solution is made possible mainly from the fact that these objects have identical properties - this is most likely wrong but it was a bit of fun, other than that I'm not sure if its possible to find k?

Energy cant be mechanical if theres resistance.

rip there goes that try. Im not sure what else to do. I re-read the question and I guess you could take the bounds from 0 to 40 and try something there but I'm not sure what other method you could use.

So is my previous answer incorrect?

I think its the most correct as of now because I don't see anything wrong with the calculation . I was just trying to find an answer without unknown variables. Perhaps there is prior context for the question where you get more info.
