4 Jack and Jill are raising a pail of water vertically using a light inextensible rope. The pail and water have total mass 20 kg .
In parts (i) and (ii), all non-gravitational resistances to motion may be neglected.
- How much work is done to raise the pail from rest so that it is travelling upwards at \(0.5 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) when at a distance of 4 m above its starting position?
- What power is required to raise the pail at a steady speed of \(0.5 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) ?
Jack falls over and hurts himself. He then slides down a hill.
His mass is 35 kg and his speed increases from \(1 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) to \(3 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) while descending through a vertical height of 3 m . - How much work is done against friction?
In Jack's further motion, he slides down a slope at an angle \(\alpha\) to the horizontal where \(\sin \alpha = 0.1\). The frictional force on him is now constant at 150 N . For this part of the motion, Jack's initial speed is \(3 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\).
- How much further does he slide before coming to rest?
