Atwood Machine Special Cases
shows an Atwood machine that consists of two blocks (of masses m1

and m2 ) tied together with a massless rope that passes over a fixed,
perfect (massless and frictionless) pulley. In this problem you'll
investigate some special cases where physical variables describing
the Atwood machine take on limiting values. Often, examining special
cases will simplify a problem, so that the solution may be found from
inspection or from the results of a problem you've already seen.
For all parts of this problem, take upward to be the positive direction
and take the gravitational constant, g, to be positive.
Part A
Consider the case where m1 and m2 are both nonzero, and m2 > m1 . Let T1 be the magnitude of the tension in the rope
connected to the block of mass m1 , and let T2 be the magnitude of the tension in the rope connected to the block of mass
m 2 . Which of the following statements is true?
ANSWER:
T1 is always equal to T2 .
T2 is greater than T1 by an amount independent of velocity.
T2 is greater than T1 but the difference decreases as the blocks increase in velocity.
There is not enough information to determine the relationship between T1 and T2 .
Correct
Part B
Now, consider the special case where the block of mass m1 is not present. Find the magnitude, T , of the tension in the
rope. Try to do this without equations; instead, think about the physical consequences.
Hint 1. How to approach the problem

If the block of mass m1 is not present, and the rope connecting the two blocks is massless, will the motion of the
block of mass m2 be any different from free fall?

ANSWER:
T = 0
Correct
Part C
For the same special case (the block of mass m1 not present), what is the acceleration of the block of mass m2 ?
Express your answer in terms of g, and remember that an upward acceleration should be positive.

Next, consider the special case where only the block of mass m1 is present. Find the magnitude, T , of the tension in the
rope.
ANSWER:
T = 0
Correct
Part E
For the same special case (the block of mass m2 not present) what is the acceleration of the end of the rope where the
block of mass m2 would have been attached?
Express your answer in terms of g, and remember that an upward acceleration should be positive.
ANSWER:
a2 = 9.80
Correct
Part F
Next, consider the special case m1 = m2 = m . What is the magnitude of the tension in the rope connecting the two
blocks? math: 100%
Typesetting
Use the variable m in your answer instead of m1 or m2 .
ANSWER:
T = mg
Correct
Part G
For the same special case (m1 = m2 = m ), what is the acceleration of the block of mass m2 ?
ANSWER:
a2 = 0
Correct
Part H
Finally, suppose m1 →∞, while m2 remains finite. What value does the the magnitude of the tension approach?
Hint 1. Acceleration of block of mass m1

As m1 becomes large, the finite tension T will have a neglible effect on the acceleration, a1 . If you ignore T , you
can pretend the rope is gone without changing your results for a1 . As m1 →∞, what value does a1 approach?
ANSWER:
a1 = -9.80
Hint 2. Acceleration of block of mass m2

As m1 →∞, what value will the acceleration of the block of mass m2 approach?
ANSWER:
a2 = 9.80
Hint 3. Net force on block of mass m2
What is the magnitude Fnet of the net force on the block of mass m2 .
Express your answer in terms of T , m2 , g, and any other given quantities. Take the upward direction to be
positive.
ANSWER:
F net = T − m2 g

ANSWER:
T = 2m 2 g
Correct
Imagining what would happen if one or more of the variables approached infinity is often a good way to investigate
the behavior of a system.
Contact Forces Introduced
Learning Goal:
To introduce contact forces (normal and friction forces) and to understand that, except for friction forces under certain
circumstances, these forces must be determined from: net Force = ma.
Two solid objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time. Indeed, when the objects touch, they exert repulsive normal
forces on each other, as well as frictional forces that resist their slipping relative to each other. These contact forces arise from a
complex interplay between the electrostatic forces between the electrons and ions in the objects and the laws of quantum
mechanics. As two surfaces are pushed together these forces increase exponentially over an atomic distance scale, easily
becoming strong enough to distort the bulk material in the objects if they approach too close. In everyday experience, contact
forces are limited by the deformation or acceleration of the objects, rather than by the fundamental interatomic forces. Hence, we
can conclude the following:
The magnitude of contact forces is determined by ∑ F ⃗ = ma⃗ , that is, by the other forces on, and acceleration of, the
contacting bodies. The only exception is that the frictional forces cannot exceed μn (although they can be smaller than this or
even zero).
Normal and friction forces

Two types of contact forces operate in typical mechanics problems, the normal and frictional forces, usually designated by n and
f (or F f ric , or something similar) respectively. These are the components of the overall contact force: n perpendicular to and f
parallel to the plane of contact.
Kinetic friction when surfaces slide

When one surface is sliding past the other, experiments show three things about the friction force (denoted f k ):
1. The frictional force opposes the relative motion at the point of contact,
2. f k is proportional to the normal force, and
3. the ratio of the magnitude of the frictional force to that of the normal force is fairly constant over a wide range of
speeds.
The constant of proportionality is called the coefficient of kinetic friction, often designated μk . As long as the sliding continues,
the frictional force is then
f k = μk n (valid when the surfaces slide by each other).
Static friction when surfaces don't slide

When there is no relative motion of the surfaces, the frictional force can assume any value from zero up to a maximum μs n ,
where μs is the coefficient of static friction. Invariably, μs is larger than μk , in agreement with the observation that when a force
is large enough that something breaks loose and starts to slide, it often accelerates.
TheTypesetting
frictional math:
force100%
for surfaces with no relative motion is therefore
f
s
≤ μ n
s
(valid when the contacting surfaces have no relative motion).
The actual magnitude and direction of the static friction force are such that it (together with other forces on the object) causes the
object to remain motionless with respect to the contacting surface as long as the static friction force required does not exceed
μ n . The equation f = μ n is valid only when the surfaces are on the verge of sliding.
s s s
Part A
When two objects slide by one another, which of the following statements about the force of friction between them, is true?
ANSWER:
The frictional force is always equal to μk n .
The frictional force is always less than μk n .
The frictional force is determined by other forces on the objects so it can be either equal to or less than μk n .
Correct
Part B
When two objects are in contact with no relative motion, which of the following statements about the frictional force between
them, is true?
ANSWER:
The frictional force is always equal to μs n .
The frictional force is always less than μs n .
The frictional force is determined by other forces on the objects so it can be either equal to or less than μs n .
Correct
For static friction, the actual magnitude and direction of the friction force are such that it, together with any other
forces present, will cause the object to have the observed acceleration. The magnitude of the force cannot exceed
μ n . If the magnitude of static friction needed to keep acceleration equal to zero exceeds μ n , then the object will
s s
slide subject to the resistance of kinetic friction. Do not automatically assume that f s = μs n unless you are
considering a situation in which the magnitude of the static friction force is as large as possible (i.e., when
determining at what point an object will just begin to slip). Whether the actual magnitude of the friction force is 0,
less than μs n , or equal to μs n depends on the magnitude of the other forces (if any) as well as the acceleration of
the object through ∑ F ⃗ = ma⃗ .
Part C
When a board with a box on it is slowly tilted to larger and larger angle, common experience shows that the box will at some
point "break loose" and start to accelerate down the board.
The box begins to slide once the component of gravity acting parallel to the board Fg just begins to exceeds the maximum
force of static friction. Which of the following is the most general explanation for why the box accelerates down the board?
ANSWER:
The force of kinetic friction is smaller than that of maximum static friction, but Fg remains the same.
Once the box is moving, Fg is smaller than the force of maximum static friction but larger than the force of
kinetic friction.
Once the box is moving, Fg is larger than the force of maximum static friction.
When the box is stationary, Fg equals the force of static friction, but once the box starts moving, the sliding
reduces the normal force, which in turn reduces the friction.
Correct
At the point when the box finally does "break loose," you know that the component of the box's weight that is
parallel to the board just exceeds μs n (i.e., this component of gravitational force on the box has just reached a
magnitude such that the force of static friction, which has a maximum value of μs n , can no longer oppose it.) For
the box to then accelerate, there must be a net force on the box along the board. Thus, the component of the
box's weight parallel to the board must be greater than the force of kinetic friction. Therefore the force of kinetic
friction μk n must be less than the force of static friction μs n which implies μk < μs , as expected.
Part D
Consider a problem in which a car of mass M is on a road tilted at an angle θ. The normal force
Select the best answer.

ANSWER:
n = Mg
n = M g cos(θ)
Mg
n=
cos(θ)
is found using ∑ F ⃗ = M a⃗
Correct
The key point is that contact forces must be determined from Newton's equation. In the problem described above,
there is not enough information given to determine the normal force (e.g., the acceleration is unknown). Each of
the answer options is valid under some conditions (θ = 0 , the car is sliding down an icy incline, or the car is going
around a banked turn), but in fact none is likely to be correct if there are other forces on the car or if the car is
accelerating. Do not memorize values for the normal force valid in different problems--you must determine n⃗ from
⃗
∑ F = ma⃗ .
Centripetal Acceleration Explained
Learning Goal:
To understand that centripetal acceleration is the acceleration that causes motion in a circle.
Acceleration is the time derivative of velocity. Because velocity is a vector, it can change in two ways: the length (magnitude) can
change and/or the direction can change. The latter type of change has a special name, the centripetal acceleration. In this
problem we consider a mass moving in a circle of radius R with angular velocity ω,
⃗ ^ ^
r (t) = R[cos(ωt) i + sin(ωt) j ]
^ ^
= R cos(ωt) i + R sin(ωt) j .
The main point of the problem is to compute the acceleration using geometric arguments.
Part A
What is the velocity of the mass at a time t? You can work this out geometrically with the help of the hints, or by
differentiating the expression for r (t)
⃗ given in the introduction.
Express this velocity in terms of R, ω, t, and the unit vectors

^
i and ^
j.
Hint 1. Direction of the velocity
What is the angle between r (t

⃗ = 0) and r (t)
⃗ ? As shown in the figure, this angle is directly related to the direction of
the velocity vector. Keep in mind that when t ,⃗ = 0) = R^
= 0 r (t i .
Express your result in terms of quantities given in the problem introduction.
ANSWER:
θ = ωt
Hint 2. Speed
What is v(t), the speed (magnitude of velocity) of the mass at time t?
Express v(t) in terms of ω and R.
ANSWER:
v(t) = ωR
ANSWER:
⃗
v (t) = ^ ^
−Rωsin(ωt) i + Rωcos(ωt) j
Correct
Assume that the mass has been moving along its circular path for some time. You start timing its motion with a stopwatch when
⃗ = 0) = R^
it crosses the positive x axis, an instant that corresponds to t = 0 . [Notice that when t = 0 , r (t i .] For the remainder
of this problem, assume that the time t is measured from the moment you start timing the motion. Then the time − t refers to
the moment a time t before you start your stopwatch.
Part B
What is the velocity of the mass at a time − t?
Express this velocity in terms of R, ω, t, and the unit vectors ^i and ^

j.
ANSWER:
⃗
v (−t) = ^ ^
Rωsin(ωt) i + Rωcos(ωt) j
Correct
Part C
What is the average acceleration of the mass during the time interval from − t to t?
Express this acceleration in terms of R, ω, t, and the unit vectors ^i and ^

j.
Hint 1. Average acceleration
The definition of average acceleration over the interval from t1 to t2 is

Part D
What is the magnitude of this acceleration in the limit of small t? In this limit, the average acceleration becomes the
instantaneous acceleration.
Express your answer in terms of R and ω.
Hint 1. Expansion of sin(x)
For small times t (or more precisely when ωt ≪ 1 ), what is the first term in the Taylor series expansion for sin(ωt)?
Express your answer in terms of ω and t.
Hint 1. Taylor series expansion

ANSWER:

ANSWER:

2
Correct
Part E
Consider the following statements:
a. The centripetal acceleration might better be expressed as −ω2 r (t)

⃗ because it is a vector.
b. The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration is v radial /R.
2
c. The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration is v 2tangential /R.

d. A particle that is going along a path with local radius of curvature R at speed s experiences a centripetal
acceleration −s2 /R.
e. If you are in a car turning left, the force you feel pushing you to the right is the force that causes the centripetal
acceleration.
In these statements v radial refers to the component of the velocity of an object in the direction toward or away from the
origin of the coordinate system or the rotation axis. Conversely, v tangential refers to the component of the velocity
perpendicular to v radial .
Identify the statement or statements that are false.
ANSWER:
a only
b only
c only
d only
e only
b and e
c and e
d and e
Correct
That's right; the true statements are therefore:
a. The centripetal acceleration might better be expressed as −ω2 r (t)

⃗ because it is a vector.
c. The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration is v tangential /R.
2
d. A particle that is going along a path with local radius of curvature R at speed s experiences an
acceleration −s2 /R.
There is so much confusion about centrifugal force that you should probably ban this term from your vocabulary
and thought processes. If you are in a car turning left, your centripetal acceleration is to the left (i.e., inward) and
some real force must be applied to you to give you this acceleration--typically this would be provided by friction
with the seat. The force you "feel" pushing you to the right is not a real force but rather a "fictitious force" that is
present if you are in an accelerating coordinate system (in this case the car). It is best to stick to inertial (i.e.,
nonaccelerating) coordinate systems when doing kinematics and dynamics (i.e., F ⃗ = ma⃗ calculations).
Video Tutor: Ball Leaves Circular Track
First, launch the video below. You will be asked to use your knowledge of physics to predict the outcome of an experiment. Then,
close the video window and answer the questions at right. You can watch the video again at any point.
Part A
Consider the video demonstration that you just watched. Which of the following changes would make it more likely for the
ball to hit both the white can and the green can?

To answer this question, you first have to decide whether changing the ball’s mass or its speed can change the path
it follows after it leaves the track.
Newton’s second law says that a net force acting on the ball will change the ball’s motion—that is, its speed and/or
direction. Newton’s first law says that, in the absence of a net force, the ball’s motion won’t change.
After the ball leaves the track, does a net force act on it? Draw a free-body diagram for the ball if you’re not sure.
To hit the green can, the ball must continue following a curved path. What would be needed to make that happen?
ANSWER:
Roll the ball slower.
Roll the ball faster.
Use a ball that is lighter than the original ball, but still heavier than an empty can.
Use a ball that is heavier than the original ball.
None of the above
Correct
By Newton’s first law, after it has left the circular track, the ball will travel in a straight line until it is subject to a
nonzero net force. Thus, the ball can only hit the white can, because that is the only can in the ball’s straight-line
path.
± Banked Frictionless Curve, and Flat Curve with Friction
A car of mass M = 1000 kg traveling at 45.0 km/hour enters a banked turn covered with ice. The road is banked at an angle
∘
, and there is no friction between the road and the car's tires as shown in . Use g = 9.80 m/s2 throughout this problem.
Part A
What is the radius r of the turn if θ = 20.0 ∘ (assuming the car continues in uniform circular motion around the turn)?
Express your answer in meters.

You need to apply Newton's 2nd law to the car. Because you do not want the car to slip as it goes around the curve,
the car needs to have a net acceleration of magnitude v 2 /r pointing radially inward (toward the center of the curve).
Hint 2. Identify the free-body diagram and coordinate system
Which of the following diagrams represents the forces acting on the car and the most appropriate choice of
coordinate axes?
ANSWER:

Figure B
Figure C
Hint 3. Calculate the normal force
Find n, the magnitude of the normal force between the car and the road. Take the positive x axis to point horizontally
toward the center of the curve and the positive y axis to point vertically upward.
Express your answer in newtons.
Hint 1. Consider the net force

The only forces acting on the car are the normal force and gravity. There must be a net acceleration in the
horizontal direction, but because the car does not slip, the net acceleration in the vertical direction must be
zero. Use this fact to find n.
Hint 2. Apply Newton's 2nd law to the car in the y direction

Which equation accurately describes the equation for the net force acting on the car in the y direction?
ANSWER:
∑ F y = n cos θ + M g
∑ F y = n sin θ + M g
∑ F y = n cos θ − M g
∑ F y = n sin θ − M g
ANSWER:
n = 1.04×104 N
Hint 4. Determine the acceleration in the horizontal plane

Take the y axis to be vertical and let the x axis point horizontally toward the center of the curve. By applying
∑ F x = M ax in the horizontal direction, determine a, the magnitude of the acceleration, using your result for the
normal force.
Express your answer in meters per second squared.
Hint 1. Apply Newton's 2nd law to the car in the x direction

Which equation accurately describes the equation for the net force acting on the car in the x direction?
ANSWER:
∑ F x = n cos θ
∑ F x = n sin θ

∑ Fx = n cos θ −

ANSWER:
a = 3.57 m/s
2
ANSWER:
r = 43.8 m
Correct
Part B
Now, suppose that the curve is level (θ = 0 ) and that the ice has melted, so that there is a coefficient of static friction μ
between the road and the car's tires as shown in . What is μmin , the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction
between the tires and the road required to prevent the car from slipping? Assume that the car's speed is still 45.0 km/hour
and that the radius of the curve is 43.8 m .
Express your answer numerically.

You need to apply Newton's 2nd law to the car. Because you do not want the car to slip as it goes around the curve,
the car needs to have a net acceleration of magnitude v 2 /r pointing radially inward (toward the center of the curve).
Hint 2. Identify the correct free-body diagram

Which of the following diagrams represents the forces acting on the car as it goes around the curve? Ff r represents
the friction force.

ANSWER:
Figure A
Figure B
Figure C
Figure D
Hint 3. Calculate the net force

What is the net force Fnet that acts on the car?
Express your answer in newtons.
Hint 1. How to determine the net force

Newton's 2nd law tells you that
⃗
∑ F = ma⃗ .
Because you do not want the car to slip as it goes around the curve, the car needs to have a net acceleration
of magnitude v 2 /r pointing radially inward (toward the center of the curve).
ANSWER:
F net = 3570 N
Hint 4. Calculate the friction force

If the coefficient of friction were equal to μmin , what would be Ff r , the magnitude of the force provided by friction?
Let m be the mass of the car and g be the acceleration due to gravity.
Hint 1. Equation for the force of friction

The force of friction is given by
F f r = μn .
Hint 2. Find the normal force

What is the normal force n acting on the car?
Enter your answer in newtons.
Hint 1. Acceleration in the y direction

Because the car is neither sinking into the road nor levitating, you can conclude that ay = 0 .
