Chapter 12 Static Equilibrium; Elasticity and Fracture

65. We consider the right half of the bridge in the diagram in the book. We divide it into two segments

of length d1 and 1 d 2 , and let the mass of those two segments be M. Since the roadway is uniform,
2

the mass of each segment will be in proportion to the length of the θ3 θ2

section, as follows. FT3 FT2

m2 = d1 → d2 = 2 m2
m1 d1 m1

d1

The net horizontal force on the right tower is to be 0. From the force FN
diagram for the tower, we write this.

FT3 sinθ3 = FT2 sinθ2

From the force diagram for each segment of the cable, write Newton’s second law for both the

vertical and horizontal directions. θ2

We manipulate the relationships to solve for the ratio of the m2g

masses, which will give the ratio of the lengths.

Use the free-body diagram for the point of connection of the mass to the wire to determine the

tension force in the wire.

67. The airplane is in equilibrium, and so the net force in d FL
each direction and the net torque are all equal to zero.
First write Newton’s second law for both the horizontal FD h1 h2
and vertical directions, to find the values of the forces.

∑ Fx = FD − FT = 0 → FD = FT = 5.0 ×105 N

∑ Fy = FL − mg = 0 mg

( ) ( )FL = mg = 7.7 ×104 kg 9.80 m s2 = 7.546 ×105 N

Calculate the torques about the CM, calling counterclockwise torques positive.

∑τ = FLd − FDh1 − FT h2 = 0

( ) ( ( ) )h1

68. Draw a free-body diagram for half of the cable. Write Newton’s FT1
second law for both the vertical and horizontal directions, with the 56°
net force equal to 0 in each direction.

∑ Fy = FT1 sin 56° − 1 mg = 0 → FT1 = 1 mg = 0.603 mg FT2
2 2 sin 56°

∑ Fx = FT2 − FT1 cos 56° = 0 → 1 mg
2

FT2 = 0.603mg (cos 56°) = 0.337 mg

So the results are:

(a) FT2 = 0.34mg

(b) FT1 = 0.60mg
(c) The direction of the tension force is tangent to the cable at all points on the cable. Thus the

direction of the tension force is horizontal at the lowest point , and is

56° above the horizontal at the attachment point .

69. (a) For the extreme case of the beam being ready to tip, CA BD
there would be no normal force at point A from the
support. Use the free-body diagram to write the 3.0 m 7.0 m 5.0 m 5.0 m
equation of rotational equilibrium under that
condition to find the weight of the person, with FA mBg FB W

FA = 0. Take torques about the location of support

B, and call counterclockwise torques positive. W is the weight of the person.

∑τ = mBg (5.0 m) − W (5.0 m) = 0 →

W = mB g = 650 N

(b) With the person standing at point D, we have already assumed that FA = 0 . The net force in

the vertical direction must also be zero.

∑ Fy = FA + FB − mB g − W = 0 → FB = mB g + W = 650 N + 650 N = 1300 N

(c) Now the person moves to a different spot, so the B 2.0 m D

free-body diagram changes as shown. Again use the C A
net torque about support B and then use the net

vertical force. 3.0 m 7.0 m 5.0 m

∑τ = mBg (5.0 m) − W (2.0 m) − FA (12.0 m) = 0 FA mBg FB W

FA = mB g (5.0 m) − W (2.0 m) = (650 N) (3.0 m)

12.0 m 12.0 m

∑ Fy = FA + FB − mB g − W = 0 → FB = mB g + W − FA = 1300 N − 160 N = 1140 N

(d) Again the person moves to a different spot, so the C A2.0 m B D
free-body diagram changes again as shown. Again

use the net torque about support B and then use the 3.0 m 5.0 m 5.0 m FB
net vertical force.

∑τ = mB g (5.0 m) +W (10.0 m) − FA (12.0 m) = 0 FA W mBg

FA = mB g (5.0 m) +W (10.0 m) = (650 N) (5.0 m) + (650 N) (10.0 m) = 810 N

12.0 m 12.0 m

∑ Fy = FA + FB − mB g − W = 0 → FB = mB g + W − FA = 1300 N − 810 N = 490 N

70. If the block is on the verge of tipping, the normal force will be acting at the L /2 F
lower right corner of the block, as shown in the free-body diagram. The mg
block will begin to rotate when the torque caused by the pulling force is h
larger than the torque caused by gravity. For the block to be able to slide,
the pulling force must be as large as the maximum static frictional force. Ffr
Write the equations of equilibrium for forces in the x and y directions and FN
for torque with the conditions as stated above.

∑ Fy = FN − mg = 0 → FN = mg

∑ Fx = F − Ffr = 0 → F = Ffr = μsFN = μsmg

∑τ = mg l − Fh = 0 → mgl = Fh = μsmgh

Solve for the coefficient of friction in this limiting case, to find μs = l.

(a) If μs < l 2h , then sliding will happen before tipping.

(b) If μs > l 2h , then tipping will happen before sliding.

71. The limiting condition for the safety of the painter is the Fleft = 0 Fright
tension in the ropes. The ropes can only exert an upward
tension on the scaffold. The tension will be least in the 1.0 m
rope that is farther from the painter. The mass of the pail is
1.0 m 1.0 m 1.0 m 2.0 m x
mp, the mass of the scaffold is m, and the mass of the Mg

painter is M .

Find the distance to the right that the painter can walk before the tension in the left rope becomes

zero. Take torques about the point where the right-side rope is attached to the scaffold, so that its
value need not be known. Take counterclockwise torques as positive.

∑τ = mg (2.0 m) + mp g (3.0 m) − Mgx = 0 →

The painter can walk to within 5 cm of the right edge of the scaffold.

Now find the distance to the left that the painter can walk Fleft Fright = 0
before the tension in the right rope becomes zero. Take
torques about the point where the left-side tension is 1.0 m
attached to the scaffold, so that its value need not be
known. Take counterclockwise torques as positive. x 1.0 m 1.0 m 2.0 m 1.0 m

∑τ = Mgx − mp g (1.0 m) − mg (2.0 m) = 0 → M g mpg mg

The painter can walk to within 17 cm of the left edge of the scaffold. We found that both ends are

72. (a) The man is in equilibrium, so the net force and the net torque on him must 1 mg
be zero. We use half of his weight, and then consider the force just on 2

75. Assume a constant acceleration as the person is brought to rest, with up as the positive Fsnow
direction. Use Eq. 2-12c to find the acceleration. From the acceleration, find the average
force of the snow on the person, and compare the force per area to the strength of body
tissue.

Since the average force on the person is less than the strength of body tissue, the person may escape

serious injury. Certain parts of the body, such as the legs if landing feet first, may get more than the
average force, though, and so still sustain injury.

Newton’s second law in the vertical direction. Note that since the tension is the same throughout the

80. See the free-body diagram. Assume that the ladder is just ready to slip, so

81. The maximum compressive force in a column will occur at the bottom. The bottom layer supports
the entire weight of the column, and so the compressive force on that layer is mg . For the column to

be on the verge of buckling, the weight divided by the area of the column will be the compressive
strength of the material. The mass of the column is its volume (area x height) times its density.

Note that the area of the column cancels out of the expression, and so the height does not depend on

85. Draw a free-body diagram for one of the beams. By Newton’s third Fbeam

law, if the right beam pushes down on the left beam, then the left beam l sinθ

that Fbeam exerts no torque. Let clockwise torques be positive.

87. (a) Use the free-body diagram in the textbook. To find the magnitude of FM , take torques about an

axis through point S and perpendicular to the paper. The upper body is in equilibrium, so the
net torque must be 0. Take clockwise torques as positive.

∑τ = [wT (0.36 m) + wA (0.48 m) + wH (0.72 m)]cos 30° − FM (0.48m) sin12° = 0 →

(b) Write equilibrium conditions for the horizontal and vertical forces.

Use those conditions to solve for the components of FV, and then θ −φ
find the magnitude and direction. Note the free–body diagram for
determining the components of FM. The two dashed lines are FM φ
parallel, and so both make an angle of θ with the heavy line
representing the back. θ

the engine was raised a half-meter means that the part of the rope from
the tree branch to the mechanic is 3.25 m, as well as the part from the FT

know that the tension in the rope is equal to the weight of the engine. mg

be in equilibrium, but just on the verge of both sliding and tipping. h 2.0 m
Since it is on the verge of sliding, the static frictional force is at its h

take clockwise torques as positive. We also assume that the box is
just barely tipped up on its corner, so that the forces are still parallel Ffr

95. (a) See the free-body diagram. We write the equilibrium conditions for

horizontal and vertical forces, and for rotation. We also assume that FWy

clockwise torques as positive. We solve for the smallest angle that FWx

If the springs are unstretched for θ = 0 , then 2.0 m must be

CHAPTER 13: Fluids

Responses to Questions

1. No. If one material has a higher density than another, then the molecules of the first could be heavier
than those of the second, or the molecules of the first could be more closely packed together than the
molecules of the second.

2. The cabin of an airplane is maintained at a pressure lower than sea-level atmospheric pressure, and
the baggage compartment is not pressurized. Atmospheric pressure is lower at higher altitudes, so
when an airplane flies up to a high altitude, the air pressure outside a cosmetics bottle drops,
compared to the pressure inside. The higher pressure inside the bottle forces fluid to leak out around
the cap.

3. In the case of the two non-cylindrical containers, perpendicular forces from the sides of the
containers on the fluid will contribute to the net force on the base. For the middle container, the
forces from the sides (perpendicular to the sides) will have an upward component, which helps
support the water and keeps the force on the base the same as the container on the left. For the
container on the right, the forces from the sides will have a downward component, increasing the
force on the base so that it is the same as the container on the left.

4. The pressure is what determines whether or not your skin will be cut. You can push both the pen and
the pin with the same force, but the pressure exerted by the point of the pin will be much greater than
the pressure exerted by the blunt end of the pen, because the area of the pin point is much smaller.

5. As the water boils, steam displaces some of the air in the can. When the lid is put on, and the water
and the can cool, the steam that is trapped in the can condenses back into liquid water. This reduces
the pressure in the can to less than atmospheric pressure, and the greater force from the outside air
pressure crushes the can.

6. If the cuff is held below the level of the heart, the measured pressure will be the actual blood
pressure from the pumping of the heart plus the pressure due to the height of blood above the cuff.
This reading will be too high. Likewise, if the cuff is held above the level of the heart, the reported
pressure measurement will be too low.

7. Ice floats in water, so ice is less dense than water. When ice floats, it displaces a volume of water
that is equal to the weight of the ice. Since ice is less dense than water, the volume of water
displaced is smaller than the volume of the ice, and some of the ice extends above the top of the
water. When the ice melts and turns back into water, it will fill a volume exactly equal to the original
volume of water displaced. The water will not overflow the glass as the ice melts.

8. No. Alcohol is less dense than ice, so the ice cube would sink. In order to float, the ice cube would
need to displace a weight of alcohol equal to its own weight. Since alcohol is less dense than ice, this
is impossible.

9. All carbonated drinks have gas dissolved in them, which reduces their density to less than that of
water. However, Coke has a significant amount of sugar dissolved in it, making its density greater
than that of water, so the can of Coke sinks. Diet Coke has no sugar, leaving its density, including
the can, less that the density of water. The can of Diet Coke floats.

Chapter 13 Fluids

10. In order to float, a ship must displace an amount of water with a weight equal to its own weight. An
iron block would sink, because it does not have enough volume to displace an amount of water equal
to its weight. However, the iron of a ship is shaped more like a bowl, so it is able to displace more
water. If you were to find the average density of the ship and all its contents, including the air it
holds, you would find that this density would be less than the density of water.

11. The liquid in the vertical part of the tube over the lower container will fall into the container through
the action of gravity. This action reduces the pressure in the top of the tube and draws liquid through
the tube, and into the tube from the upper container. As noted, the tube must be full of liquid initially
for this to work.

12. Sand must be added to the barge. If sand is removed, the barge will not need to displace as much
water since its weight will be less, and it will rise up in the water, making it even less likely to fit
under the bridge. If sand is added, the barge will sink lower into the water, making it more likely to
fit under the bridge.

13. As the weather balloon rises into the upper atmosphere, atmospheric pressure on it decreases,
allowing the balloon to expand as the gas inside it expands. If the balloon were filled to maximum
capacity on the ground, then the balloon fabric would burst shortly after take-off, as the balloon
fabric would be unable to expand any additional amount. Filling the balloon to a minimum value on
take-off allows plenty of room for expansion as the balloon rises.

14. The water level will fall in all three cases.
(a) The boat, when floating in the pool, displaces water, causing an increase in the overall level of
water in the pool. Therefore, when the boat is removed, the water returns to its original (lower)
level.
(b) The boat and anchor together must displace an amount of water equal to their combined weight.
If the anchor is removed, this water is no longer displaced and the water level in the pool will go
down.
(c) If the anchor is removed and dropped in the pool, so that it rests on the bottom of the pool, the
water level will again go down, but not by as much as when the anchor is removed from the
boat and pool altogether. When the anchor is in the boat, the combination must displace an
amount of water equal to their weight because they are floating. When the anchor is dropped
overboard, it can only displace an amount of water equal to its volume, which is less than the
amount of water equal to its weight. Less water is displaced so the water level in the pool goes
down.

15. No. If the balloon is inflated, then the air inside the balloon is slightly compressed by the balloon
fabric, making it more dense than the outside air. The increase in the buoyant force, present because
the balloon is filled with air, is more than offset by the increase in weight due to the denser air filling
the balloon. The apparent weight of the filled balloon will be slightly greater than that of the empty
balloon.

16. In order to float, you must displace an amount of water equal to your own weight. Salt water is more
dense than fresh water, so the volume of salt water you must displace is less than the volume of fresh
water. You will float higher in the salt water because you are displacing a lower volume of water.

17. The papers will move toward each other. When you blow between the sheets of paper, you reduce
the air pressure between them (Bernoulli’s principle). The greater air pressure on the other side of
each sheet will push the sheets toward each other.

18. As the water falls, it speeds up because of the acceleration due to gravity. Because the volume flow
rate must remain constant, the faster-moving water must have a smaller cross-sectional area
(equation of continuity). Therefore the water farther from the faucet will have a narrower stream
than the water nearer the faucet.

19. As a high-speed train travels, it pulls some of the surrounding air with it, due to the viscosity of the
air. The moving air reduces the air pressure around the train (Bernoulli’s principle), which in turn
creates a force toward the train from the surrounding higher air pressure. This force is large enough
that it could push a light-weight child toward the train.

20. No. Both the cup and the water in it are in free fall and are accelerating downward because of
gravity. There is no “extra” force on the water so it will not accelerate any faster than the cup; both
will fall together and water will not flow out of the holes in the cup.

21. Taking off into the wind increases the velocity of the plane relative to the air, an important factor in
the creation of lift. The plane will be able to take off with a slower ground speed, and a shorter
runway distance.

22. As the ships move, they drag water with them. The moving water has a lower pressure than
stationary water, as shown by Bernoulli’s principle. If the ships are moving in parallel paths fairly
close together, the water between them will have a lower pressure than the water to the outside of
either one, since it is being dragged by both ships. The ships are in danger of colliding because the
higher pressure of the water on the outsides will tend to push them towards each other.

23. Air traveling over the top of the car is moving quite fast when the car is traveling at high speed, and,
due to Bernoulli’s principle, will have a lower pressure than the air inside the car, which is stationary
with respect to the car. The greater air pressure inside the car will cause the canvas top to bulge out.

24. The air pressure inside and outside a house is typically the same. During a hurricane or tornado, the
outside air pressure may drop suddenly because of the high wind speeds, as shown by Bernoulli’s
principle. The greater air pressure inside the house may then push the roof off.

9. (a) The pressure exerted on the floor by the chair leg is caused by the chair pushing down on the

16. (a) The gauge pressure is given by Eq. 13-3. The height is the height from the bottom of the hill
to the top of the water tank.

(b) The water would be able to shoot up to the top of the tank (ignoring any friction).

h = 5.0 m + (110 m) sin 58o = 98 m

17. The pressure at points a and b are equal since they are the same height in the same fluid. If they

were unequal, the fluid would flow. Calculate the pressure at both a and b, starting with atmospheric

pressure at the top surface of each liquid, and then equate those pressures.

Note that if we used the constant density approximation, P = P0 + ρ gh, a negative pressure would
result.

20. Consider the lever (handle) of the press. The net torque Fsample F

the lever). Then Pascal’s principle can be used to find
the upwards force on the large cylinder, which is the D1 B

22. (a) See the diagram. In the accelerated frame of the beaker, there is a aθ
pseudoforce opposite to the direction of the acceleration, and so there is
a pseudo acceleration as shown on the diagram. The effective θ
acceleration, g′ , is given by g′ = g + a. The surface of the water will be
g′ g
perpendicular to the effective acceleration, and thus makes an angle

θ = tan−1 a . h′
g

(b) The left edge of the water surface, opposite to the direction of the
acceleration, will be higher.

(c) Constant pressure lines will be parallel to the surface. From the second

diagram, we see that a vertical depth of h corresponds to a depth of h′

perpendicular to the surface, where h′ = h cosθ, and so we have the
following.

P = P0 + ρg′h′ = P0 + ρ g2 + a2 (h cosθ )

= P0 + ρ ⎛ g a2 ⎞ = P0 + ρhg
g2 + a2 ⎝⎜⎜ h g2 + ⎟⎠⎟

And so P = P0 + ρhg , as in the unaccelerated case.

23. (a) Because the pressure varies with depth, the force on the wall b
will also vary with depth. So to find the total force on the
wall, we will have to integrate. Measure vertical distance y
downward from the top level of the water behind the dam.
Then at a depth y, choose an infinitesimal area of width b
and height dy. The pressure due to the water at that depth is
P = ρgy .

(c) To prevent overturning, the torque caused by gravity about the lower right front corner in the
diagram must be at least as big as the torque caused by the water. The lever arm for gravity is
half the thickness of the dam.

So we must have t ≥ 0.38h to prevent overturning. Atmospheric pressure need not be added in
because it is exerted on BOTH sides of the dam, and so causes no net force or torque. In part
(a), the actual pressure at a depth y is P = P0 + ρgy , and of course air pressure acts on the
exposed side of the dam as well.

24. From section 9-5, the change in volume due to pressure change is ΔV = − ΔP , where B is the bulk
V0 B

modulus of the water, given in Table 12-1. The pressure increase with depth for a fluid of constant

density is given by ΔP = ρ gΔh , where Δh is the depth of descent. If the density change is small,

then we can use the initial value of the density to calculate the pressure change, and so ΔP ≈ ρ0gΔh .
Finally, consider a constant mass of water. That constant mass will relate the volume and density at

the two locations by M = ρV = ρ0V0 . Combine these relationships and solve for the density deep in
the sea, ρ .

ρV = ρ0V0 →

The density at the 6 km depth is about 3% larger than the density at the surface.

25. Consider a layer of liquid of (small) height Δh , and ignore the ω
pressure variation due to height in that layer. Take a cylindrical
ring of water of height Δh , radius r, and thickness dr. See the dFradial
diagram (the height is not shown). The volume of the ring of
r
liquid is (2π rΔh) dr , and so has a mass of dm = (2πρrΔh) dr .

That mass of water has a net centripetal force on it of magnitude

( )dFradial = ω2r dm = ω2rρ (2π rΔh) dr . That force comes from a P
dr
pressure difference across the surface area of the liquid. Let the
pressure at the inside surface be P , which causes an outward P + dP
force, and the pressure at the outside surface be P + dP , which
causes an inward force. The surface area over which these

pressures act is 2π rΔh , the “walls” of the cylindrical ring. Use Newton’s second law.

dFradial = dFouter − dFinner → ω2rρ (2π rΔh) dr = ( P + dP) 2π rΔh − ( P) 2π rΔh →

assumed to be the same as that of water. Combining these relationships yields an expression for the
mass of the legs.

37. (a) The buoyant force on the object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. The force of

gravity of the fluid can be considered to act at the center of gravity of the fluid (see section 9-8).

If the object were removed from the fluid and that space re-filled with an equal volume of fluid,

that fluid would be in equilibrium. Since there are only two forces on that volume of fluid,

gravity and the buoyant force, they must be equal in magnitude and act at the same point.

Otherwise they would be a couple (see Figure 12-4), exert a non-zero torque, and cause rotation

of the fluid. Since the fluid does not rotate, we may conclude that Fbuoy
the buoyant force acts at the center of gravity.
(b) From the diagram, if the center of buoyancy (the point where the Fbuoy

buoyancy force acts) is above the center of gravity (the point where

gravity acts) of the entire ship, when the ship tilts, the net torque

about the center of mass will tend to reduce the tilt. If the center of mg mg
buoyancy is below the center of gravity of the entire ship, when the

ship tilts, the net torque about the center of mass will tend to increase the tilt. Stability is

achieved when the center of buoyancy is above the center of gravity.

38. The weight of the object must be balanced by the two buoyant forces, one from the water and one
from the oil. The buoyant force is the density of the liquid, times the volume in the liquid, times the
acceleration due to gravity. We represent the edge length of the cube by l.

the wing point 1, and the top surface point 2.

53. Consider the volume of fluid in the pipe. At each end of the pipe there is a force towards the
contained fluid, given by F = PA . Since the area of the pipe is constant, we have that

Fnet = ( P1 − P2 ) A . Then, since the power required is the force on the fluid times its velocity, and

AV = Q = volume rate of flow, we have P = Fnetv = ( P1 − P2 ) Av = ( P1 − P2 ) Q .

54. Use the equation of continuity (Eq. 13-7b) to relate the volume flow of water at the two locations,

57. We assume that the water is launched from the same level at which it lands. Then the level range

formula, derived in Example 3-10, applies. That formula is R = v02 sin 2θ0 . If the range has
g

increased by a factor of 4, then the initial speed has increased by a factor of 2. The equation of
continuity is then applied to determine the change in the hose opening. The water will have the same
volume rate of flow, whether the opening is large or small.

(a) Since the liquid is launched horizontally, the initial vertical speed is zero. Use Eq. 2-12b for

constant acceleration to find the time of fall, with upward as the positive direction. Then

multiply the time of fall times v1 , the (constant) horizontal speed.

59. (a) Apply Bernoulli’s equation to point 1, the exit hole, and point 2, the top surface of the liquid in

Also apply the equation of continuity ( A1v1 = A2v2 ) to the same two points.

62. There is a forward force on the exiting water, and so by Newton’s third law there is an equal force
pushing backwards on the hose. To keep the hose stationary, you push forward on the hose, and so
the hose pushes backwards on you. So the force on the exiting water is the same magnitude as the
force on the person holding the hose. Use Newton’s second law and the equation of continuity to find
the force. Note that the 450 L/min flow rate is the volume of water being accelerated per unit time.
Also, the flow rate is the product of the cross-sectional area of the moving fluid, times the speed of

the fluid, and so V = A1v1 = A2v2 .

64. The relationship between velocity and the force of viscosity is given by Eq. Fvis r

moving surface and the liquid. For a cylinder, A = 2π rh. The variable l is
the thickness of the fluid layer between the two surfaces. See the diagram.

If the object falls with terminal velocity, then the net force must be 0, and so

the viscous force will equal the weight. Note that

The flow is laminar at this speed.

(b) Since the velocity is doubled the Reynolds number will double to 2940. The flow is turbulent

at this speed.

71. The fluid pressure must be 78 torr higher than air pressure as it exits the needle, so that the blood will
enter the vein. The pressure at the entrance to the needle must be higher than 78 torr, due to the
viscosity of the blood. To produce that excess pressure, the blood reservoir is placed above the level
of the needle. Use Poiseuille’s equation to calculate the excess pressure needed due to the viscosity,
and then use Eq. 13-6b to find the height of the blood reservoir necessary to produce that excess
pressure.

73. In Figure 13-35, we have γ = F 2l . Use this relationship to
calculate the force.

74. (a) We assume that the weight of the platinum ring is negligible. Then the surface tension is the
force to lift the ring, divided by the length of surface that is being pulled. Surface tension will

act at both edges of the ring, as in Figure 13-35b. Thus γ FF

75. As an estimate, we assume that the surface tension force acts vertically. We assume that the free-

body diagram for the cylinder is similar to Figure 13-37(a) in the text. The weight must equal the

total surface tension force. The needle is of length l.

76. Consider half of the soap bubble – a hemisphere. The forces on the FT outer
hemisphere will be the surface tensions on the two circles and the net FT inner
force from the excess pressure between the inside and the outside of
the bubble. This net force is the sum of all the forces perpendicular FP
to the surface of the hemisphere, but must be parallel to the surface
tension. Therefore we can find it by finding the force on the circle FT inner
that is the base of the hemisphere. The total force must be zero. FT outer

Note that the forces FT outer and FT inner act over the entire length of the r

circles to which they are applied. The diagram may look like there
are 4 tension forces, but there are only 2. Likewise, there is only 1

pressure force, FP , but it acts over the area of the hemisphere.

2FT = FP → 2 (2π rγ ) = π r2ΔP → ΔP = 4γ

77. The mass of liquid that rises in the tube will have the force of gravity acting down on it, and the
force of surface tension acting upwards. The two forces must be equal for the liquid to be in
equilibrium. The surface tension force is the surface tension times the circumference of the tube,
since the tube circumference is the length of the “cut” in the liquid surface. The mass of the risen
liquid is the density times the volume.

Since the water pushes up on the ball via the buoyant force, there is a downward force on the water

98. We label three vertical levels. Level 0 is at the pump, and the supply tube h2 r1
has a radius of r0 at that location. Level 1 is at the nozzle, and the nozzle h1

has a radius of r1 . Level 1 is a height h1 above level 0. Level 2 is the

highest point reached by the water. Level 2 is a height h2 above level 1. We
may write Bernoulli’s equation relating any 2 of the levels, and we may
write the equation of continuity relating any 2 of the levels. The desired
result is the gauge pressure of the pump, which would be P0 − Patm. Start by
using Bernoulli’s equation to relate level 0 to level 1.

is at atmospheric pressure.

CHAPTER 14: Oscillations

Responses to Questions

1. Examples are: a child’s swing (SHM, for small oscillations), stereo speakers (complicated motion,
the addition of many SHMs), the blade on a jigsaw (approximately SHM), the string on a guitar
(complicated motion, the addition of many SHMs).

2. The acceleration of a simple harmonic oscillator is momentarily zero as the mass passes through the
equilibrium point. At this point, there is no force on the mass and therefore no acceleration.

3. When the engine is running at constant speed, the piston will have a constant period. The piston has
zero velocity at the top and bottom of its path. Both of these properties are also properties of SHM.
In addition, there is a large force exerted on the piston at one extreme of its motion, from the
combustion of the fuel–air mixture, and in SHM the largest forces occur at the extremes of the
motion.

4. The true period will be larger and the true frequency will be smaller. The spring needs to accelerate
not only the mass attached to its end, but also its own mass. As a mass on a spring oscillates,
potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. The maximum potential energy depends on the
displacement of the mass. This maximum potential energy is converted into the maximum kinetic
energy, but if the mass being accelerated is larger then the velocity will be smaller for the same
amount of energy. A smaller velocity translates into a longer period and a smaller frequency.

5. The maximum speed of a simple harmonic oscillator is given by v = A k . The maximum speed
m

can be doubled by doubling the amplitude, A.

6. Before the trout is released, the scale reading is zero. When the trout is released, it will fall
downward, stretching the spring to beyond its equilibrium point so that the scale reads something
over 5 kg. Then the spring force will pull the trout back up, again to a point beyond the equilibrium
point, so that the scale will read something less than 5 kg. The spring will undergo damped
oscillations about equilibrium and eventually come to rest at equilibrium. The corresponding scale
readings will oscillate about the 5-kg mark, and eventually come to rest at 5 kg.

7. At high altitude, g is slightly smaller than it is at sea level. If g is smaller, then the period T of the
pendulum clock will be longer, and the clock will run slow (or lose time).

8. The tire swing is a good approximation of a simple pendulum. Pull the tire back a short distance and
release it, so that it oscillates as a pendulum in simple harmonic motion with a small amplitude.
Measure the period of the oscillations and calculate the length of the pendulum from the expression

T = 2π l . The length, l, is the distance from the center of the tire to the branch. The height of the
g

branch is l plus the height of the center of the tire above the ground.

9. The displacement and velocity vectors are in the same direction while the oscillator is moving away
from its equilibrium position. The displacement and acceleration vectors are never in the same
direction.

10. The period will be unchanged, so the time will be (c), two seconds. The period of a simple pendulum
oscillating with a small amplitude does not depend on the mass.

11. The two masses reach the equilibrium point simultaneously. The angular frequency is independent of
amplitude and will be the same for both systems.

12. Empty. The period of the oscillation of a spring increases with increasing mass, so when the car is
empty the period of the harmonic motion of the springs will be shorter, and the car will bounce
faster.

13. When walking at a normal pace, about 1 s (timed). The faster you walk, the shorter the period. The
shorter your legs, the shorter the period.

14. When you rise to a standing position, you raise your center of mass and effectively shorten the
length of the swing. The period of the swing will decrease.

15. The frequency will decrease. For a physical pendulum, the period is proportional to the square root
of the moment of inertia divided by the mass. When the small sphere is added to the end of the rod,
both the moment of inertia and the mass of the pendulum increase. However, the increase in the
moment of inertia will be greater because the added mass is located far from the axis of rotation.
Therefore, the period will increase and the frequency will decrease.

16. When the 264-Hz fork is set into vibration, the sound waves generated are close enough in frequency
to the resonance frequency of the 260-Hz fork to cause it to vibrate. The 420-Hz fork has a
resonance frequency far from 264 Hz and far from the harmonic at 528 Hz, so it will not begin to
vibrate.

17. If you shake the pan at a resonant frequency, standing waves will be set up in the water and it will
slosh back and forth. Shaking the pan at other frequencies will not create large waves. The individual
water molecules will move but not in a coherent way.

18. Examples of resonance are: pushing a child on a swing (if you push at one of the limits of the
oscillation), blowing across the top of a bottle, producing a note from a flute or organ pipe.

19. Yes. Rattles which occur only when driving at certain speeds are most likely resonance phenomena.

20. Building with lighter materials doesn’t necessarily make it easier to set up resonance vibrations, but
it does shift the fundamental frequency and decrease the ability of the building to dampen
oscillations. Resonance vibrations will be more noticeable and more likely to cause damage to the
structure.

Solutions to Problems

1. The particle would travel four times the amplitude: from x = A to x = 0 to x = − A to x = 0 to

x = A. So the total distance = 4A = 4 (0.18 m) = 0.72 m .

2. The spring constant is the ratio of external applied force to displacement.

k = Fext = 180 N − 75 N = 105 N = 525 N m≈ 530 N m
x 0.85 m − 0.65 m 0.20 m

4. (a) The motion starts at the maximum extension, and so is a cosine. The amplitude is the
displacement at the start of the motion.

(b) The amplitude is the distance pulled down from equilibrium, so A = 2.5cm

The frequency of oscillation is found from the oscillating mass and the spring constant.

f = 1 k1 653 N m = 2.625 Hz ≈ 2.6 Hz

11. We assume that the spring is stretched some distance y0 while the A θ Fs

rod is in equilibrium and horizontal. Calculate the net torque
about point A while the object is in equilibrium, with clockwise
torques as positive.

∑τ = Mg ( 1 l ) − Fsl = 1 Mgl − ky0l =0 Mg

Now consider the rod being displaced an additional distance y

below the horizontal, so that the rod makes a small angle of θ as shown in the free-body diagram.
Again write the net torque about point A. If the angle is small, then there has been no appreciable
horizontal displacement of the rod.

Include the equilibrium condition, and the approximation that y = l sinθ ≈ l θ.

12. (a) We find the effective spring constant from the mass and the frequency of oscillation.

f = 1 k →

k = 4π 2mf 2 = 4π 2 (0.055kg) (3.0 Hz)2 = 19.54 N m ≈ 20 N m (2 sig fig)

(b) Since the objects are the same size and shape, we anticipate that the spring constant is the same.

f = 1 k1 19.54 N m = 1.4 Hz
2π m = 2π 0.25 kg

13. (a) For A, the amplitude is AA = 2.5 m . For B, the amplitude is AB = 3.5 m .

(b) For A, the frequency is 1 cycle every 4.0 seconds, so fA = 0.25 Hz . For B, the frequency is 1

cycle every 2.0 seconds, so fB = 0.50 Hz .

(c) For C, the period is TA = 4.0s . For B, the period is TB = 2.0s
(d) Object A has a displacement of 0 when t = 0 , so it is a sine function.

xA = AAsin (2π fAt) → xA = (2.5m) sin ( 1 πt)
2

Object B has a maximum displacement when t = 0 , so it is a cosine function.

xB = ABcos (2π fBt) → xB = (3.5m) cos (π t)

14. Eq. 14-4 is x = Acos (ωt + φ ) .

(a) If x (0) = − A, then − A = Acosφ → φ = cos−1 (−1) → φ = π .

(b) If x (0) = 0 , then 0 = Acosφ → φ = cos−1 (0) → φ = ± 1 π .
2

(c) If x (0) = A , then A = Acosφ → φ = cos−1 (1) → φ = 0 .

(d) If x (0) = 1 A , then 1 A= A cos φ → φ = cos−1 ( 1 ) → φ = ± 1 π .
2 2 2 3

(e) If x (0) = − 1 A, then − 1 A= Acosφ → φ = cos−1 (− 1 ) → φ = ± 2 π .
2 2 2 3

( )(f)
If x (0) = A 2 , then A 2 = Acosφ → φ = cos−1 1 → φ = ± 1 π .
2 4

The ambiguity in the answers is due to not knowing the direction of motion at t = 0.

15. We assume that downward is the positive direction of motion. For this motion, we have

k = 305 N m , A = 0.280 m, m = 0.260 kg, and ω = k m = (305 N m) 0.260 kg = 34.250 rad s .

(a) Since the mass has a zero displacement and a positive velocity at t = 0, the equation is a sine
function.

y (t ) = (0.280 m)sin[(34.3rad s)t]

x (0) = (0.82 cm) cosφ = 0.43cm → φ = cos−1 0.43 = ±1.02 rad

Because the graph is shifted to the RIGHT from the 0-phase cosine, the phase constant must be

subtracted.
